Daily life in Zongman

Hoshino Ai wants to spend her high school years with the person she likes.

Chapter 138: Practice and study simultaneously.

In February, Miss Xuesha came to visit. She brought two books on cultivation techniques, one about Onmyoji and the other about priests. Miss Xuesha said that if one could try practicing both, and if one could sense spiritual power through the Onmyoji's cultivation method, then one would have a talent for cultivation.

Later, you can become stronger by contracting with Shikigami, or try to switch to other skills.

If you can't sense spiritual energy, then you can try the priest's training method. However, this method is more about "fate". If you have "fate", you can gain the favor of the great gods and enter the priest's path. This path is similar to the training path of the shrine maiden. By becoming a messenger of the gods, you can receive rewards and improve your cultivation.

When Miss Xuesha came to visit, she did not bring a crystal ball with detection qualifications, nor did she cast any spells to observe. She just asked us to try both methods.

He made it clear: "Practice depends heavily on talent, and no one's true talent is known. Fujiwara, you possess extraordinary aptitude in the way of the sword, but practice requires experimentation to truly understand."

"Try practicing first. If you have talent, you'll slowly be able to sense spiritual energy. Of course, we can also release more dense spiritual energy balls for you to sense, but the result of that will make it difficult for you to sense the thin spiritual energy in a normal environment."

Fujiwara Haru was a little curious: "If I can sense spiritual energy later, what will be the arrangements?"

Xuesha: "We will arrange for you to enter the corresponding school for training and study. If you don't want to step into another world, you can refuse."

Yukino Shindong blinked and sat quietly aside.

After Xuesha left, she came closer and said, "Qingjun, if you don't want to transfer schools and want to learn about this, I can teach you. I'm actually a top student and I'm very good at studying."

"Well, thank you Sister Shendong. I decided to wait and see."

"Sure~ If you need anything, just look for me~"

Xue No Shen Dong knew some secrets, but she never asked about them or delved into them too much. She just kept them to herself.

After receiving the cultivation method, Fujiwara Haru didn't begin practicing immediately. He knew he had a natural talent for cultivation. He had been able to sense spiritual energy for months, and recently, if he wanted to, he could directly see another world. A world composed of spiritual energy, a more fundamental world.

You can practice cultivation at any time now, but the second page of the system still reminds you to "eat more, exercise more, and sleep more."

This system was given by the Gods, whose knowledge should be greater than that of the Snow Women. If they say to wait a little longer, then be patient. Perhaps practicing after your body has developed a little more will yield better results?

Fujiwara Haru decided to wait until the training interface was opened before taking a look. He didn't have to wait long. In early March, when the cherry blossoms were falling, the second page of the system was unlocked after he woke up one day.

The first interface of the system panel is personal attributes, which made Fujiwara Haru previously think that the second training interface would be a mode of adding experience points by completing tasks, just like the panel of Suqing.

However, this is not the case. After unlocking the second page of the practice interface, it is a very simple video playlist with simple video titles.

A Complete Guide to Accelerating Your Cultivation

The content is very detailed, with detailed explanations of the generation, operation, and characteristics of spiritual energy, and the accompanying illustrations, animations, and special effects make it easy to understand at a glance. The female voice in the video is very gentle, belonging to the deity. She breaks down the practice in great detail, and it feels like I'm being taught step by step.

When Fujiwara Haru was guiding Hoshino Ai in her studies at night, he also learned the cultivation knowledge from the video, and from time to time he would look through the cultivation manual sent by Miss Xuesha for comparison.

I found that the knowledge provided by Miss Xuesha was indeed not systematically comprehensive. The Onmyoji cultivation method said that there are a total of six levels of cultivation.

They are the five realms that can be clearly cultivated to: spiritual perception, body forging, mind concentration, spiritual control, and thorough understanding, as well as the last one, the immortal realm, which depends on one's comprehension.

However, the physical training method taught in the system video has eight levels, namely, tempering the body, refining the bones, exchanging blood, concentrating the mind, forging the soul, storing the spirit, fusing the soul, and the final level of returning to oneness.

Fujiwara Haru put aside the cultivation methods of Onmyoji and priests and decided to concentrate on learning the physical cultivation methods taught by the system. After learning them, he would see if he could teach them to other people.

After that, his daily routine was to replace running with spiritual practice, and his daily food intake began to gradually increase, from three bowls of rice per meal to five or six bowls per meal, which began to become outrageous.

The solution was easy enough. Sister Shendong could simply order spirit beast meat with more energy from the family. However, that would reveal her cultivation. Fujiwara Haru was unconcerned, but Yukino Shendong was a bit more cautious. "Haru-kun isn't practicing Onmyoji techniques. If anyone knew, they might come and investigate, right?"

Yukino Shindong wanted to protect her lover, so she decided to keep it a secret from her family.

Finally, Xue No Shen Dong lifted the seal of the gourmet tablecloth and tried hot pot to obtain a lot of fresh spiritual beast meat and spiritual medicine, solving the problem of increasing appetite.

This is a path that has never been imagined. Fujiwara Haru feels that the gourmet tablecloth is really outrageous. It really can change anything related to food.

As for why not just conjure up the prepared food.

"Sister likes to cook~"

Sister Shendong has two hobbies: reading and cooking.

Compared to the delicacies conjured up by the gourmet tablecloth, Fujiwara Haru thinks that Sister Shendong's meals are more appetizing and more delicious, and she loves the food cooked by Sister Shendong.

The cherry blossoms gradually bloomed, and with the spring breeze they fell off the branches, fluttering in the wind at a speed of five centimeters per second.

The junior high school graduation exam is about to begin, and Hoshino Ai's study hell is about to end.

For the past two months, she had basically spent her time, besides sleeping and eating, memorizing formulas, studying exercises, and doing tests. After discussing and confirming with Futaba, she decided to focus on science, followed by English, and finally memorizing basic knowledge points in liberal arts, such as Mandarin.

After all, when your grades in both liberal arts and science are very poor, you can deepen your understanding of knowledge points in science by doing practice questions. As long as you understand them, you can apply them to other situations and improve your grades instantly. This is better than the long-term memorization of large amounts of knowledge points in liberal arts.

"Ah P, I'm so tired..."

After finishing another set of test papers, Hoshino Ai looked dazed and confused.

She wasn't even in the mood to joke or take the opportunity to ask for a reward. All she wanted to do now was lie on the table, empty her mind and rest.

"Ai-chan, you can't rest yet. We have to do English listening practice for a quarter of an hour. I'll check the test paper. It's just right that you can correct the mistakes after you finish listening. It will be almost twelve o'clock when we finish correcting them, so you can go back to sleep."

When Hoshino Ai heard that she couldn't rest yet, her pupils trembled, and then she clenched her fists: "Okay! Last hour!"

As she persevered, time came to the early hours of the morning. Fujiwara Haru found that she had made a lot fewer wrong questions today, and her score reached 80 points for the first time!

Although this set of test papers was jointly designed by him and Futaba, and many of the questions with a full score of 100 were those that had been carefully taught before, a good test is a good test, which means that Hoshino Ai has remembered most of the knowledge points learned in the past two months.

It cannot be called excellent, but it can be said to be good.

When I sent her back, I gave her the reward as agreed at the door and held her in my arms. Ai-chan said nothing, but just hugged her waist with both hands and completely relaxed.

"Ai-chan, you've worked hard today. Go back and get some sleep. We'll go to school together tomorrow."

I encouraged her, hoping that she could relieve some of the stress and continue into the final week of study hell after a good rest tomorrow.

Hoshino Ai was a little confused: "Ah P... I feel... I don't seem to be very good... Even though I strategically gave up literature and other rote memorization subjects, I still understand physics and chemistry very slowly..."

"The exam is in a week... Will I even be able to get into a national high school?"

Fujiwara Haru is not very good at comforting people, Nozomi is rarely sad, Futaba is emotionally stable, and as for Sister Fuyuki, she used to be the one who comforted him.

After thinking for a while, he chose his words: "Ai-chan, listen to me."

"I'm happy that you want to go to the same high school as me, but I'm even happier that you're constantly working hard for this."

"I've seen how hard Ai-chan has been working these days. You've been diligent and persistent, giving your all for your goals. Ai-chan, you've been shining brightly these days, and you look so handsome."

"I think you're great, Ai-chan. Even if you fail in the end, I will walk you through it slowly and support you in studying and retaking the exam."

"So don't worry too much, I'll support you."

Ai-chan fell into his arms, breathing slowly and quietly for a few minutes before she raised her head slightly: "A P, thank you."

She stood on tiptoe, tiptoe, and tiptoe some more, wanting to kiss the middle of the cheek of the person she loved.

Ai Hoshino, who is only 20 meters tall, faces Ah P, who is a little taller, and the height difference is already cm.

Seeing her trying to stand on tiptoe, he reached out, hugged her waist, and kissed her face lightly.

Hoshino Ai's body stiffened for a moment, then relaxed, with her toes dangling to the ground, leaving a slight gap.

When he put her down, she was a little unsteady, but luckily he didn't let go completely. After she stood steadily, he encouraged her again: "Ai-chan, do your best tomorrow too."

"Yeah! See you tomorrow, Ah P~"

Hoshino Ai regained her spirits and decided to continue working hard tomorrow. Even if she failed the exam, she wanted to persevere for the rewards every night!

The cherry blossoms are falling and a new day has begun. The weather in March is still a little chilly.

Fujiwara Haru finished his night training, got up, washed up, ate the breakfast and snow milk prepared by Sister Shendong, left home, and waited at the agreed intersection.

Nozomi was pushing the door open, Yuzuru was behind her, and not far away were Futaba and Hoshino Ai walking over.

You also need to keep track of time and open the system map to see if there is anything you need to pay attention to today.

There is a red exclamation mark that has not been seen for a long time.

Chapter 139: Stand up and don’t cry.

The last time I saw a red exclamation mark was a week ago. After God gave Overwatch this gift, the frequency of red exclamation marks has decreased a lot, but there are still some.

Through observation over the past few months, I've discovered that the gods don't make the world a better place by directly influencing people's minds. Instead, they make the world a better place by improving the luck of good people and expanding the influence of good deeds. For example, they ensure that legislators who get things done are elected, or that the virtuous heirs of wealthy families are fortunate enough to gain real power.

Bad people still exist and still do bad things, it’s just that good people’s luck has improved.

Fujiwara Haru clicked the red exclamation mark to view the details.

Incident: Bullying/jumping from a building.

A time countdown may occur.

03:13:07.

03:56:11.

It was a little after eight in the morning, which meant the incident must have happened around noon. Fujiwara Haru decided to take a leave of absence and go over there early to squat in case of any emergency.

After arriving at the school, I said goodbye to the teacher and conveniently got a day off. Following the map, I arrived at the gate of a high school. The security guard was reading a newspaper in the security room, and the gate was closed.

Go around to the outside of the empty wall, take a sprint, push off the wall and rush up again, then reach out and grab the top to use the force to climb over.

It was easy to get in. Fujiwara Haru felt that his physical fitness had improved rapidly with his recent training. The most intuitive thing was the value on the first page of the system, which was already averaging over 8.

If the average is 5, then the average for an average person is 4, the average for a sick person is 3, and the average for a seriously ill person is 1-2. Based on this, we can infer that the average for a person who exercises regularly is 6, the average for a fit person is 7, and a very small number of people with very unusual figures may reach 8-9.

It took Fujiwara Haru only half a month of training to reach this number. Since there was no comparison, he thought that he was just a little faster at most, but it should still be normal.

I walked around the high school, dodged some teachers, and came to the men's locker room in the gymnasium. I borrowed a school uniform from an unknown kind person and changed into it.

Because he gave a lot of money and left a note saying that he would return the school uniform later, he had never caused anyone's displeasure in the past, and Fujiwara Haru was familiar with the following procedures.

Put on your mask and get your sunglasses ready. It's time to strike back against bullying!

The red exclamation mark has remained unchanged this time, and after careful screening by elimination, it can be confirmed that it is a JK girl with many freckles, glasses, low ponytails, and a rustic look.

She was just an ordinary girl with no special features. After class, she would huddle in her seat, and when no one approached her to chat, she wouldn't go and chat with anyone. She was the perfect target for school bullying, the kind of person who had no friends to tell when she was being bullied.

The first incident was bullying. It happened after the third class in the morning. The freckled girl seemed unable to resist and went to the toilet.

Not long after she got up and left, three girls appeared at the corner of the corridor. They followed the freckled girl and walked towards the bathroom together.

After they waited for the freckled girl to go in, one person stood at the door, and two people followed her in and drove everyone out without saying a word.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

They knocked frantically on the freckled girl's compartment door, with twisted smiles on their faces: "Open the door, Jiezi! Open the door! Open the door!"

"what!"

After a frightened scream, a panicked voice was heard in the compartment: "Open the door immediately! Open the door immediately! Sorry, please wait! Sorry, please wait!"

Bang! Bang!

The cubicle door was opened and instantly pushed against the wall. The two girls blocked the doorway and looked at Jie Zi who was pushed onto the toilet by the cubicle door. The smiles on their faces became even more distorted.

"Yuko, didn't we agree last time? As good friends, we should go to the bathroom together, right?"

"Now you come here alone, don't you consider us your friends?"

“It’s so sad~”

Jiezi was very panicked: "No, no, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

She kept bowing her head and apologizing, but a girl held her head down: "We made an 'agreement', right? The one who broke the agreement, do you still remember what you had to do?"

Jiezi's body was stiff, her teeth were chattering, and her face was filled with fear: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please forgive me!"

The girl holding the knot clenched her hand, then pressed down hard: "We have an agreement. If you break the contract, you will have to drink it all up."

Tap, tap, the sound of footsteps came from the toilet.

"Um!"

The sound of someone covering their mouth.

The girl holding the knot was a little displeased. She thought it was her fellow gatekeeper who came in: "What are you doing? Go and see... Who are you?"
