Zongman, gain super powers after helping others

Hiratsuka Shizuka followed closely for a few steps, but finding it too inefficient, she simply snatched Lin Qianshu's cane at the corner of the stairs and lifted him up in a manner similar to carrying cement.

"Eh, holy crap!" Lin Qianshu was so startled by the sudden scene that he blurted out his native tongue, especially when he saw that Hiratsuka Shizuka was wearing high heels, which made him even more terrified.

Hmm, looking at it this way, it doesn't seem like they're carrying cement; it looks more like bandits raiding a village to steal a wife.

Lin Qianshu is that wife.

After a bumpy ride, Lin Qianshu's healthy leg was back on the ground, and the crutch was back in her left hand. Hiratsuka Shizuka, as if nothing had happened, asked Lin Qianshu, "Want to go upstairs later...?"

"Absolutely not!!!"

Chapter 2: Did the beautiful girl I've never met suddenly feel guilty? Did she make a mistake?

Unlike the sparsely populated teaching buildings, the special building where club activities take place is bustling with activity. Here, youth seems to be embodied, and the daily lives of young men and women can be seen everywhere.

If Hiratsuka Shizuka were to carry him to the Service Club like a sandbag, his life on campus would probably be over sooner or later.

Faced with Lin Qianshu's attitude that she would leave immediately if he dared to do anything reckless, Hiratsuka Shizuka did not insist.

After all, she genuinely wanted to introduce Lin Qianshu to the Service Department. If she went too far and drove him away, that would be bad.

"Okay, okay, it must be tiring to carry you up here. I only suggested it because I was considerate of your mobility issues. You don't appreciate my kindness."

"hehe."

Lin Qianshu rolled her eyes. "See if I believe you. You were laughing so hard when we came downstairs. You were clearly just making fun of him. As for being tired? You didn't even break a sweat!"

Going upstairs is much easier than going downstairs. He doesn't even need a cane; he can just hop up. Holding onto the handrail, he can jump two or three floors at a time, making him just as efficient as a normal person.

Of course, Lin Qianshu's unique way of going upstairs and her current appearance unsurprisingly attracted the attention of the students in the corridor. However, due to the unique cultural atmosphere of the Japanese, no one came forward to ask or offer help. In addition, with Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was obviously a teacher, accompanying Lin Qianshu, no one would come forward to accumulate merit.

To be honest, isn't this Service Department a bit too remote?

Not only are the floors high, but the further you go, the fewer people there are. What's going on?

The youthful vibrancy that once filled the air gradually faded, replaced by a cold, desolate emptiness.

If Lin Qianshu wasn't mistaken, there should be other clubs active on this floor, but there was no noise at all.

Standing before an unremarkable sliding door, Lin Qianshu looked around at the desolate surroundings and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, are you sure the Service Club is located here?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka crossed her arms and replied, "Of course, I'm the instructor of the Service Club, how could I go to the wrong place?"

"If I remember correctly, teacher, you said before that the Service Club is a department specifically established to help others solve problems. A convenient, all-purpose department like this should be very popular, right? But why is there no one here?"

Lin Qianshu strongly suspected that this Service Department was likely a front set up by some powerful student who used school resources to swindle club funds. How could they help people when there was no one there?

"Hmm...that's a good question. Perhaps the school's educational work is so excellent that the students have no worries at all?"

"Teacher, do you even believe what you're saying?"

"Let's not worry about that for now."

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't explain much; often, firsthand experience is more direct and straightforward than dry explanations.

— Slide it.

Hiratsuka Shizuka pulled open the classroom door, and the interior came into view.

One corner of the classroom was cluttered with desks and chairs, presumably being used as a storage room. Apart from that, the layout of this classroom was no different from the others; it was just an ordinary classroom.

If there's anything unusual about it, it's the girl in the classroom.

The girl sat upright on the school chair. Although there was no one else around, her excellent family education still allowed her to maintain proper manners and dignity even when no one was around. Her back was straight, her posture was dignified and beautiful, and even when she was reading a book, she had an indescribable elegance.

It's immediately obvious that this kind of girl is not someone that an ordinary family could raise.

This is probably what a well-bred lady should be like.

Upon hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka open the door, the girl's attention shifted from the book in her hands to the doorway.

At this moment, Lin Qianshu finally saw the girl's full appearance.

What to say?

The moment Lin Qianshu saw the girl's face, she felt that she was born to join the Service Department.

Lin Qianshu has been living in Japan for almost a year now, and she often comes across so-called 'once-in-a-millennium beauties' on the Japanese internet.

There are indeed many good-looking people, but the vast majority of them have worn makeup and photoshopped their pictures. Their actual appearance in real life is debatable.

However, the girl in front of him made Lin Qianshu feel that the word "beautiful girl" was specifically used to describe her.

The girl sat there on her chair, the afterglow of the setting sun streaming into the classroom through the window. A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, and her bright eyes were filled with curiosity. The scene was as beautiful as a painting.

Before Hiratsuka Shizuka could speak, the girl spoke first: "Hiratsuka-sensei, didn't I mention to you that you should knock before coming in?"

“Even when I knock on the door, you never answer, do you?” Hiratsuka Shizuka didn’t realize her mistake and instead blamed the girl.

To be honest, Lin Qianshu also felt that he should knock before entering.

Of course, if the person inside doesn't answer after knocking, they should also bear half the responsibility, so this round is a draw.

"That's because I didn't have time to respond before the teacher came in on her own."

OK, Ms. Jing is fully responsible.

Lin Qianshu's mental judge delivered the final verdict, declaring Hiratsuka Shizuka guilty.

"Also, teacher, who is that disabled person next to you?"

Seeing that the girl had focused her attention on him, Lin Qianshu subconsciously sent her an emotion perception attack, and then he was stunned.

“His name is Lin Qianshu, and he wants to join the Service Club. Lin Qianshu, and this is the club president, Yukino Yukinoshita.” Hiratsuka Shizuka stated concisely, then, seeing that Lin Qianshu didn't react, she raised an eyebrow and said, “Lin Qianshu?”

"I'm here." Lin Qianshu snapped out of her daze and introduced herself to the girl named Yukino Yukinoshita: "I'm Lin Qianshu from Class 2-F. Um... have we met before?"

"Pfft, what a cliché way to pick someone up." Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but chuckle. This older single woman casually nudged Lin Qianshu with her elbow, "You won't get any girls like that."

Lin Qianshu replied irritably, "I wasn't hitting on anyone."

Then he said with certainty, "I don't think I've ever seen you before, but you seem to have seen me before."

The basis for this judgment is Lin Qianshu's ability to perceive emotions. He received an emotion called 'guilt' from this girl named Yukino Yukinoshita.

Would a normal girl feel guilty towards a man she has never met?

Obviously not.

Moreover, Lin Qianshu keenly noticed that when Yukino Yukinoshita looked at him, her gaze lingered on his legs for a long time.

If Lin Qianshu hadn't noticed the other person's emotions, he would have thought this was normal behavior, since his left leg in a cast was indeed quite conspicuous on campus.

But the truth seems to be different, and Lin Qianshu already has some guesses about it...

Chapter 3 On that day, Yukino Yukinoshita agreed to his joining the club.

Yukino Yukinoshita is a second-year student in Class J at Soubu High School.

With her outstanding academic performance, consistently ranking first in the entire grade in both midterm and mock exams, coupled with her stunning beauty that is unforgettable at first glance, she naturally became the focus of attention at school.

There was almost no dissent when the title of the most beautiful girl on Zongwu High School's campus was bestowed upon her.

Yukino Yukinoshita herself is aware that she is cute, but she is not happy about it. Compared to the advantages that beauty brings, she feels more trouble.

Unexplained malice, unexplained jealousy, unexplained resentment. Of course, if Yukino Yukinoshita were to choose, she would still choose to have her current appearance. After all, being excellent is never a bad thing; what's bad are those mediocre people who are prone to jealousy.

Yukino Yukinoshita really likes a poem from the neighboring Celestial Empire: "A true hero can withstand the trials of heaven, while a mediocre person is not envied by others."

It was precisely because of this experience that Yukino Yukinoshita founded the Service Club, intending to "change the world" by "changing people's weaknesses".

Of course, progress is not going smoothly so far. It is unclear whether it is because she usually acts too coldly or because her aura is too unapproachable. So far, the Service Club has not received any requests from students.

However, although she didn't receive any requests from her classmates, she did receive quite a few requests from Ms. Hiratsuka, though most of them were just everyday chores.

Yukinoshita strongly suspects that Hiratsuka Shizuka is using the Service Club as a front to employ her as an assistant.

Considering that the Service Department didn't really have any requests, and that Hiratsuka Shizuka's requests were all trivial matters, we could only leave it at that for now.

Yukinoshita originally thought that Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei came to the Service Club today because she needed her help with something, but she didn't expect that the other party would bring someone with her.

They said they wanted to join the Service Department.

Admittedly, the Service Club is indeed short-handed. The club establishment requirements of Soubu High School specify that a club must have a certain number of members to be considered a formal club. If the number of members does not meet the standard, it can only be considered a reserve club, or an interest group.

But why him of all people?

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't understand.

Does such an ethereal thing as fate truly exist in this world?

Yukino Yukinoshita knew the boy next to Shizuka Hiratsuka. It wasn't that she had any inexplicable feelings for him, but rather because of an accident.

Well, it was an unpleasant accident.

To put it bluntly, Yukino Yukinoshita believed that the reason the other person was using a cane was basically entirely due to her.

The car accident could have been avoided if she hadn't felt unwell that morning and asked the family driver to take her to school.

Thinking about it carefully, if I had been stronger and chosen to go to school by myself, or if I had obediently asked for leave and stayed at home, the car accident wouldn't have happened.

Moreover, as someone who was sitting in the car and witnessed everything, Yukino Yukinoshita knew very well that this car accident was a completely undeserved disaster for the boy named Chiki Hayashi in front of her.

The other person was walking very lawfully on the side of the road, without violating any traffic laws or regulations, and then inexplicably was hit by a car on the road and knocked to the ground. The other person was still in a daze until the ambulance arrived.

Yukino saw all of this clearly.

Afterwards, her family took care of everything and did not ask her to appear in public, but a seed of guilt was planted in the girl's heart.

To Yukino's surprise, she ran into him again in her club just one day later. If this was retribution, it was coming far too fast.

However, seeing that the other person was in good spirits and had not suffered any irreparable damage, Yukino Yukinoshita secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The next question is: should we accept them as members of our team?

Before Yukino Yukinoshita could make a decision, she heard the boy say, "I'm Chiki Hayashi from Class 2-F. Um... have we met before?"

Yukino Yukinoshita skipped a beat, then heard the other person continue, "I don't think I've ever seen you before, but you seem to have seen me before."

That confident tone gave Yukino Yukinoshita the illusion that she was a fish on a chopping board.

Although it was sudden, Yukinoshita's long-standing elite education allowed her to quickly calm down. She habitually tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear with her fingers and replied in a calm yet polite voice, "This is our first meeting. As for what you said about me having seen you before... I guess so, since we're in the same school. If you're trying to strike up a conversation this way, then forget it."

Lin Qianshu replied noncommittally, "I see."

He neither explained nor denied it, but simply brushed the question aside with an ambiguous answer.

For some reason, Yukino Yukinoshita felt inexplicably irritable.

It wasn't directed at Lin Qianshu, but at herself.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, unaware of Yukinoshita's subtle change in emotion, continued, "So, Yukinoshita, what's your opinion?"

"May I ask this student Lin a few questions?" Yukino Yukinoshita did not give a direct answer.

Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at Lin Qianshu, who, seeing no problem, said, "Please go ahead."

Why does Lin want to join the Service Club?

"To help others."

"It sounds very noble."

"It's not noble; helping others is just to satisfy myself." Lin Qianshu was very frank. He was not a saint. If it weren't for the system, he would most of the time act like a normal person, protecting himself.

Upon hearing Lin Qianshu's answer, Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly. After pondering for a moment, she nodded in agreement and said, "In that case... welcome to the Service Club."

According to Yukino Yukinoshita, this student, Hayashi, has excellent grades, good character, and no bad habits. He can be considered a very high-quality member. Many clubs in the school have invited him to join, but he has not accepted any of them.

Now that the other person wants to join the Service Club, Yukino Yukinoshita really has no reason to refuse. She can't just not let the other person join the club because they were hit by her car, can she?

That would be completely unreasonable.

The upright and righteous Ms. Yukinoshita would never do such a thing.

Hiratsuka Shizumi Yukino agreed to let Hayashi Chiki join the club. She checked the time and realized there was still plenty of time before club activities ended. After thinking for a moment, she said, "You guys chat for a bit. I have something to do. I'll come back when club activities are almost over. Goodbye~"

Before leaving, Hiratsuka Shizuka gave Lin Qianshu a meaningful look, patted him on the shoulder as if to encourage him, and then left him with a dashing back view.

So... how does this guy resemble a teacher?
