Anime Crossover: My Part-Time Job as a Giant of Light While Studying Abroad in Chiba

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at the finalized roadmap and chuckled with satisfaction.

Communicating with intelligent people always yields twice the results with half the effort.

"Likewise, Vice President Shinomiya."

Yukinoshita nodded slightly.

"but……"

Kaguya Shinomiya's smile faded as she looked out the window. Outside, students from both schools were leaving in twos and threes.

Her eyes became heavy with worry.

"While this plan is flawless in an ideal scenario, the most important factor is still the relationship between people."

The atmosphere at the conference table became somewhat complicated.

“Those pampered young masters and ladies of Shuchiin are extremely afraid of death. In the event of a disaster, they will never give up the main passage to let the students of Soubu High go first.”

Yukinoshita paused for half a second, then continued Kaguya's words:

"Similarly, the people of Soubu High School may develop a sense of rejection towards Shuchiin due to the resentment they have accumulated over time, and may refuse to cooperate with the command of Shuchiin officers at critical moments."

“They’ll just think, ‘We’re all just trying to save our lives, why should we listen to you? Why should we give in to you?’”

Shirogane Miyuki also rested his chin on his hand, feeling a sudden headache.

Duanzi Rei and Fujiwara Chika, who had been eavesdropping nearby, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is it really that serious...? It feels like the students from these two schools are like mortal enemies. They're all high school students; shouldn't they be running for their lives together when facing a monster?"

Duan Zilian couldn't help but sigh.

Fujiwara Chika sighed heavily beside her, resting her chin on her hands.

"This kind of prejudice is very serious, Duan."

“My parents are both diplomats. They told me a lot about things outside the country when I was young, such as racial discrimination and racial prejudice. These ideas are like solidified cement. Once they are formed, it is very difficult to break them.”

"Relationships within a school are different from grand international political issues, aren't they?"

Jokes and rants.

"No, that's not it, Duan!"

Fujiwara Chika suddenly leaned close to Duan Zilian, her eyes wide, and said in an exaggerated tone as if telling a ghost story:

"This kind of thing, at its smallest, is a conflict arising from the merger of the two schools; at its largest, it is naked class struggle! It is an irreconcilable contradiction between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie!"

"It's the evil exploitation of educational resources by capitalism that has led to a backlash from the lower classes! What if the exercise turns into local unrest, triggering a crisis of trust in society, and ultimately causing a global financial collapse..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Duan Zilian was so frightened that she quickly covered Qianhua's mouth.

"Secretary Fujiwara, your imagination is running wild! If you keep going, is this school going to erupt into a war of independence tomorrow?!"

"Hehe, I'm just preparing for the worst."

Fujiwara Chika scratched her head and said quietly.

The debate continued at the long table.

"Therefore, they certainly won't follow the steps exactly. There are too many unexpected factors we need to consider."

Kaguya rubbed her temples.

"Rules are rules."

Yukino bit her lower lip, her expression a mixture of stubbornness and exhaustion.

“If even rules concerning life and death cannot be followed, then the education of this school has completely failed. I will personally go to the key points to supervise and enforce them.”

"It can't be forced, Yukinoshita-san."

Shirogane Miyuki shook his head.

"We can only start now and try to communicate subtly, at least to avoid a fight on Monday."

……

In the end, the group still couldn't reach a conclusion on the question of "how to make people's hearts be at peace".

People's prejudices cannot be dispelled by a few nice words.

When I walked out of the gate of Xiuzhi College, the sun was already half-hidden in the sky.

The dim light made the entire Chiba building appear hazy and indistinct.

"So, in the end, the core bomb was still not resolved."

Duan Zilian pushed her bicycle, walking beside her in the snow.

"Um……"

Yukinoshita's face looked deeply weary.

"The roadmap has been finalized. I'll send it to Hiratsuka-sensei tonight and inform the whole school. As for the specifics... we'll have to see when the time comes."

Looking at the girl's somewhat thin shoulders, Duan Zilian scratched her hair and smiled casually:

"It seems that mediating people's emotions is still too difficult."

"But don't be too pessimistic. Hopefully, everyone will be more sensible tomorrow and cooperate honestly when they see how hard the minister is working."

Amused by his carefree nonsense, Yukinoshita relaxed a little and couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

"I hope so. I hope that when danger truly strikes, everyone can put aside their prejudices against each other."

She looked up at the sky, which had been dyed orange.

"It's already past seven o'clock, everyone has left the school."

Duan Zilian looked at the empty school path.

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Duan. You accompanied me to the student council today and sat there bored all afternoon."

"Don't mention it. I wasn't much of a help; I was just there to keep you company."

Duan Zilian chuckled and hopped onto her bicycle.

"Then I'll be going now, Minister. See you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

As the sun set, their shadows gradually receded into the distance.

The wind, carrying the heat of summer, slammed down on Duan Zilian.

As she pedaled, Duan Zilian reached out and grabbed her collar, fanning herself vigorously.

"Seriously... what's wrong with this weather? The sun is almost setting, but the wind on my face feels like a hairdryer, and it's so stuffy and hot."

Duan Zilian wiped the sweat from her forehead again.

"When we get back, I must make sure Future-san turns the air conditioning on the lowest setting..."

……

Because of the hot weather, the coffee shops closed early, and there were hardly any people on the streets.

As the bell rang, the wandering vagabond appeared at the door the next second.

"Yo-ho! Future! Look what I'm holding in my hand!"

He walked in, radiating heat, clutching a glittering gold card in his hand.

Hibino Mirai, who was standing at the bar, took a closer look and her eyes lit up instantly.

"This is... Mebius! Kaisan, you finally regained the power of that card?"

"Yes!"

Hong Kai strode over and handed the card to Wei Lai.

"This was transformed back when I went to the Chiba seaside to cultivate my Zen mind. In the future, try it and see if you can use the power of light on it?"

Mirai excitedly accepted the card printed with her image, closed her eyes, and tried to guide it with the Mebius aura from her left wrist.

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes and shook his head helplessly.

"No, Kaisan."

He returned the card to Hong Kai in the future, his tone tinged with regret.

"This power is one-sided. Unless I can find my original source, I cannot absorb these residual lights."

"Oh, that's such a pity..."

Hong Kai took the card with some regret and slumped down on the high chair.

But soon, the regret on his face was replaced by a deep excitement and fighting spirit.

"But don't be afraid of the future."

Kai gripped the Mebius card tightly in his hand and looked up at the sunset outside the window.

"I can feel my power slowly returning. Before long, I will be able to reawaken my 'Radiant Form' in this world."

He turned his head, looked at the empty shop entrance, and curled his lip.

"That brat Duan Zilian has been practicing martial arts day and night these past few days. He's been cyberbullied, injured, and still has to go to school. He's really had a tough time."

"He was such a cowardly kid at the beginning, but he managed to endure so much."

Hearing Hong Kai's rare candor, Wei Lai couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"Kaisan really cares about Duan Jun."

"Stop talking nonsense, there's no other way!"

Hong Kai haughtily pulled down the brim of his hat, blocking his eyes.

"Who told me to be his senior, this newbie? Aren't seniors beings there to protect their juniors so they can dream a little longer?"

"Once I regain my strength... if any of those disgusting filth dare to come out again, I will make them taste the Spelion Ray."

……

Chapter 77 Heads Outside the Window

The next morning, the air was still hot and dry.

The sweltering heat had already taken over the entire city, and the air conditioning in Class 2F was set to 16 degrees Celsius just to barely quell the oppressive heat.

"Seriously, it's not even June yet, how come it's already this hot? I wish this scorching summer would just explode already."

Hachiman Hikigaya lay sprawled on his desk like a dried-out salted fish, every word he uttered sounding like an indictment of nature.

Just then, the front door of the classroom was gently pushed open.

Good morning everyone... It's so hot today.

Totsuka Saika walked into the classroom, wiping the fine sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief in her hand.

His delicate face was slightly flushed from the heat, and glistening sweat slowly slid down his face and into his collarbone.

He seemed to notice a gaze from the back row and greeted them with a smile:

Good morning, Hachiman.

Upon seeing this, Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly sat up, his face gradually becoming flushed.

"Good morning, Saika."

He blushed and returned the greeting.

Ah, suddenly I realize that the sweltering summer has its own unique charm!

He thought to himself.

At this moment, Duan Zilian was slumped on the table like a lump of mud.

He turned his head and looked at Yukino Yukinoshita beside him.

Although Yukinoshita was still sitting upright today, her fingers gripping the pen tightened slightly, and there was a clear hint of tension in her eyes.

Duan Zilian glanced out of the corner of her eye at the corridor outside the classroom.
