So, Amiya nodded and headed towards the locker room.

Chapter 217: Amiya's Heart Knot

"Um...Teacher, do you really want to do that?"

Amiya blushed slightly and couldn't help but say.

"Yes, we must continue."

Wang Chong said firmly.

"But..." After hearing Wang Chong's decisive words, Amiya's face couldn't help but turn even redder.

"Don't worry, my skills are very good." Wang Chong comforted him.

"Then... let's start." Amilu said after lying down and turning around.

"Just bear with it for a while. It will be a little painful at first. It will feel better after a while."

"Ah! It hurts!!" Amiya shed tears of pain and bit her lower lip with her upper teeth to endure the pain.

"Do you feel the pain now? It's good that you feel the pain. Even if you scream in pain, just bear it!"

Wang Chong's voice became even more harsh.

"I told you to train with the Body Tempering Ruler, not to train yourself to death. You've increased your training volume too much without timely recuperation and supplementation. Over time, not only will your body not be tempered, but it will also leave hidden injuries. Even more seriously, it will eventually damage your foundation beyond repair!"

"I'm...I'm sorry, teacher."

At this moment, in Amiya's room, Wang Chong covered himself in black mist, and then examined and repaired Amiya's body.

The pain Amiya felt was the inevitable pain caused by Wang Chong pouring his power into repairing those hidden injuries. However, as long as all the hidden injuries were repaired, Amiya would naturally be fine.

"Tell me, what happened that pushed you to not take care of your body and pursue quick success?" Wang Chong said in a deep voice.

"Teacher... recently I..." What Amiya said next was almost the same as what Black Ai Li reported to her.

The only difference is that Amiya explains why the recent violent suppression of infected people has intensified.

Wang Chong had never imagined that he himself would be the culprit who caused these incidents to escalate.

That’s right, it was because of Wang Chong’s leadership of the Reunion Movement that the Ursus army failed, resulting in a series of consequences.

Because of the army's failure, a large number of Ursus nobles who were demoted, dismissed, or had their interests damaged naturally vented their anger on the ordinary infected people.

Neighboring countries, fearing the emergence of violent infected organizations like the Integration Movement in their own countries, have been implementing high-pressure policies and suppressing infected people, both openly and covertly.

Because of this, the conflicts between the infected and ordinary people and official agencies have intensified, and Amiya is worried about these things.

Even during this period, Kal'tsit had to be busy traveling outside, so there was no one to properly supervise Amiya's daily life.

Amiya felt that her power was insufficient and she was unable to save the oppressed infected people in time.

She could only force herself to become stronger so that she could quickly master the power of the Demon King. Moreover, under this high-pressure training, she could forget her troubles for a short period of time and let her mind feel a little relaxed.

"If... the doctor were still here..."

As she spoke, Amiya couldn't help but recall the time when the Doctor was around.

"As expected, because of me, the conflict among the infected has accelerated. This has indirectly fueled Amiya's desire to find the Doctor."

After hearing Amiya's whisper, Wang Chong had already thought of how to respond in a flash. He said slowly:

"Amiya...what do you think about the Reunion Movement?"

"Huh? Why does the teacher ask this question?" Amiya asked in confusion.

"Because from your words, I feel that you seem to blame the Integration Movement. It seems that their existence has exacerbated the difficult situation of the infected people today." Wang Chong said slowly.

"No! I've never thought of it that way. The Reunion Movement is clearly..." Amiya quickly retorted, but then, as if realizing something, she said, "Sorry, teacher, I got a little emotional."

"In that case, why don't you tell me clearly how you view these things and what you really think?" Wang Chong asked.

"What...are I really thinking?" Amiya asked doubtfully.

Wang Chong said slowly, "As a leader, you can be confused for a while, but you can't be muddleheaded forever. Only by being clear about your true intentions and understanding what you truly want to do, and integrating knowledge and action, can you achieve great things."

"..." After hearing Wang Chong's words, Amiya began to ponder. The pain actually made Amiya's consciousness more clear, and she began to reflect on herself.

"To answer the teacher's first question first, regarding the Integration Movement, I tend to admire it and wait and see."

Amiya began to speak. "The reason I admire them is because I once got a booklet they distributed. It records their thoughts, ideas, and their perspective on the oppression of infected people."

"I've been dealing with the infected for a long time, and with those who oppress them. Because of this, I'm even more convinced of the greatness of the Reunion Movement's ideology, and even I can't help but learn from it."

"If that's the case, then why are you still confused and why are you waiting and watching the Integration Movement?" Wang Chong asked.

"Because that ideal is too difficult, it is almost impossible to achieve on the land of Terra." Amiya said slowly with a hint of sadness on her face.

"They face countless setbacks and hardships, not only from external pressure but also from internal divisions. Not everyone can work together towards that ideal. Those with weak resolve will retreat, while those with cunning minds will exploit this and use it as a stepping stone to their own power."

"And most importantly, both the infected and the oppressors need an environment suitable for them to unite and develop. They need time to resolve the above problems while continuing to deal with external pressures."

"But the current land doesn't allow them the time to develop like this. The rule of the various nations is still being consolidated. The prejudice and hatred between ordinary people and the infected have not yet been eliminated. They have no chance of successfully realizing their ideals..."

After Amiya finished speaking in one breath, she pondered for a while and said:

"Just like now, the Reunion Movement won the first and even the second battle against Ursus. But can they continue to win? Besieged in the mountains, constantly being worn down by powerful armies, their downfall is only a matter of time."

"But even if they are destroyed, the legacy they created will always exist, and this impact will indeed make the current situation of the infected worse."

"I'm very clear that this isn't the fault of the Reunion Movement. Struggle is inevitable, and it's impossible without bloodshed and sacrifice. But many people won't understand them this way, and even more will be misled. Under the instigation of those with ulterior motives, the prejudice against the infected will become even deeper."

"My most trusted family member now, Kal'tsit, said this about Reunion: They're lunatics beyond their time. Even if they're absolutely right, they're ultimately out of step with the times and will inevitably perish against the tide of change, becoming victims and martyrs of the times, mere stepping stones before the era's victory."

After listening to Amiya's explanation, Wang Chong couldn't help but nod secretly, and finally understood Amiya's true concern.

Amiya is indeed very intelligent. With her own insights, she can keenly judge the pressures and problems faced by the Integration Movement... no, it should be said that all infected people are facing.

However, it was precisely because she saw everything so clearly through the ideas of the Integration Movement that she understood one thing: that at this time, the infected were simply incurable.

Regardless of the Reunion Movement's ideology or any other method, none of them can save the infected people now.

No matter how right you are, no matter how much effort and effort you put into your actions, you will face condemnation from the top leaders of various countries. They will not allow such ideological changes to occur during this period.

The public may not be able to see that the real oppressors are the upper class, not the infected people who are equal to them, and thus support the infected people.

Even the Reunion Movement wouldn't have had the right environment to awaken the people if Ursus hadn't oppressed both the infected and the civilian population. In any other country, it would have likely garnered little support and ultimately failed.

It is precisely because of this that Amiya feels a little hopeless about the future of the infected.

Yes, despair.

Amiya found that no matter how much she did now, her ultimate achievement would be just like other infected organizations, leaving a mark in history at most and becoming a victim of the development of the times.

She could only slightly change the current situation of some infected people, but ultimately could not save them. She could not accept such an outcome, but she had to accept it.

"So, that's why you chose to wait and see. You placed your hopes on the Reunion Movement or someone else, hoping that they could perform a miracle. Am I right?"

Wang Chong slowly asked, "Do you... feel powerless and hopeless about the current situation of the infected?"

Chapter 218: Amiya is led astray (Part 3)

"Yes…"

After a moment of silence, Amiya finally nodded and acknowledged this.

"The current situation of the infected is indeed extremely difficult. Just like the Sarkaz back then, they not only have to face the threats from various nations, but also face the internal divisions and internal friction between the pro-war and pro-peace factions."

Wang Chong said slowly, "Therefore, to solve these problems, not only does it take time to settle and wait for the times to develop, but it also requires great wisdom, great strength, and great perseverance. Add a little bit of good luck. Only then can we succeed."

"The difficulties involved are self-evident. It's no wonder you feel hopeless. After all, you're still just a child, and forcing you to shoulder such a heavy burden all at once is simply forcing things to happen."

Amiya listened to Wang Chong's words silently without responding.

Indeed, Amiya still has a childish innocence. Deep down, she wants to act like a spoiled brat and has someone to lean on and support her.

But growth is something that happens suddenly, leaving no one with the slightest bit of preparation. The young Demon King inherited this great power, and all she could do was live up to everyone's expectations and work hard to grow.

But when she found out that all her efforts were in vain, how could the blow not be heavy?

"But children also have their own advantages." Wang Chong suddenly said.

"Huh?" Amiya was slightly stunned. She didn't quite understand why her teacher suddenly came to such a conclusion.

"That means children have the opportunity to make mistakes and have the opportunity to try their best," said Wang Chong.

"Making a mistake...a chance to try again?" Amiya asked puzzled.

"Amiya, perhaps I don't understand this era, and I don't know what kind of thoughts and insights you have gained."

Wang Chong said slowly, "However, you don't need to see these things too clearly like an adult. The more clearly you see, the more you will become stuck in your ways and afraid to strive for a breakthrough."

"Why not let go and give it your all? Like a young person, even if anyone says it's impossible, you should still fight for what you believe is right."

"But... knowing it's impossible and still doing it, this is no longer something I can excuse myself for. Moreover, as a leader, I have so many people following me. I can't play with their lives like this."

Amiya shook her head and said.

"Then, Amiya, let me ask you this. If you don't do these things and just keep carrying on as you are now, can you guarantee that those who follow you will be able to ensure that Rhodes Island will not be in danger of collapse?"

Wang Chong said, "Let's take the most extreme example. What if the Ursus, because of the Reunion Movement, have gone so crazy that they would label you as accomplices even if they saw you rescuing infected people, or even believe that you might become the next Reunion Movement and want to strangle you in the cradle? What would you do?"

"I..." After hearing Wang Chong's question, Amiya was unable to answer for a moment.

"Can't you answer this, or don't want to answer it?" Wang Chong asked. "Amiya, you already know the answer. It's just that you want to save those who follow you, and you also want to protect those who are suffering from the infected. That's why you hesitate."

"In fact, the reason you crave power so much isn't just because of responsibility. More importantly, you think that if you're strong enough, you might be able to have both. Am I wrong?"

"...That's right." Amiya finally nodded, as if her secret had been revealed. "That's why I've been troubled. I'm getting more and more anxious. So, teacher... can you tell me what I should do?"

"Didn't I already tell you how to do it?" Wang Chong said slowly.

"Eh?...But..." Amiya was stunned for a moment, then she understood that the path Wang Chong was talking about was for her to practice the ideas of the Integration Movement.

"Don't tell me you think it's impossible. Since you already know the right path and agree with it, then go forward boldly."

Wang Chong said seriously, "As for those who follow you, whether you choose to stick to the rules or give it a try, they can't escape the possibility of bloodshed and sacrifice. If that's the case, why not choose to fight?"

"I think those people followed you because they had ideals and beliefs they wanted to achieve, and that's why they gathered around you. They must have wanted to make a difference to this land, to bring it together."

"Amiya, for them, protecting and pursuing their beliefs and ideals is more precious than protecting their lives!"

After hearing these words, Amiya's pupils shrank slightly. She thought silently for a long time before finally untangling the confusion in her heart.

"Can I really... take them to fight this time?" Amiya said a little unconfidently.

"Everyone is like this. They have to start from nothing and build something up. No one is a natural leader. They always make mistakes and pay the price for it, carrying their own will and moving forward."

Wang Chong said, "All you can do is persevere in pursuing what you believe is right."

"Besides... you're actually quite optimistic about this idea. Or rather, you hope it can succeed, right? Otherwise, your attitude towards the Reunion Movement wouldn't be one of waiting and watching, but rather one of regret and sighing."

Amiya was startled for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Well, because I believe in miracles."

"Yes, only you young people and children believe in the existence of miracles. But precisely because of this, it is often you young people who can create miracles."

Wang Chong spoke like a seasoned old man, continuing, "Actually, I've long seen that you, little rabbit, wouldn't settle for being a good kid. You've always had your own opinions. Otherwise, you wouldn't be open to new things, and you wouldn't be struggling with these things."

"To put it bluntly, you little bunny are good in every way except that you think too much and worry too much. You need someone to give you a push."

"Hehe...thank you so much, teacher, for clearing up my confusion." Amiya smiled, then said, "Before, Rhodes Island only treated and rescued those infected, and constantly promoted positive things about the infected in an attempt to change the status quo."

"But now I understand... curing the disease can't save those infected. Or rather, curing the disease can't save this world full of oppression and discrimination, and it can't save ordinary people."

Amiya said slowly, "I already know what to do from the book. While saving those infected, we must also let them know the situation, see the truth of this world, and unite them."

"Ursus is now indiscriminately oppressing the infected. This is the darkest moment for the infected... but it is also the moment for the infected to awaken. I must teach them how to resist."

“If you want to do it, just do it.”

Wang Chong knew clearly that he had successfully lured this little rabbit into the Reunion Movement's ideological camp.

After that, Amiya will definitely devote all her energy to this attempt, and naturally put the matter of finding the doctor on hold for the time being.

Most importantly, Wang Chong was well aware that a certain stubborn old lynx would definitely have significant conflicts and disagreements with Amiya's attempt, which would divert some of Amiya's energy.

As a result, Amiya's attention to the sarcophagus became less focused. After all, busy people don't have time to think too much.

"Okay, your body has been successfully drained."

At this time, Wang Chong withdrew his strength from Amiya's body and continued, "In your future training, you must not overdo it. You must strictly follow the training guidelines I have established."

"Okay, teacher." Amiya quickly stood up and agreed with a smile.

"Thoughts will become your spiritual support and weapon. But arming the spirit is not enough. The struggle in reality often depends more on the game of power. Come, follow me into the world of war!

Afterwards, Amiya submerged her consciousness into the space of the demon king's palace and began to mobilize the power of the demon king, gathering the energy of the source stone in front of Amiya.
