"Is it necessary to ask such a question now?" Li Nian chuckled. Instead, he thought the girl's question was strange. "You don't need a reason to help others. When you see injustice, everyone wants to intervene, because empathy is human instinct. Everyone here wants to help you. The only difference between me and them is that I have more direct means."

"is that so……"

"Having said that, only those who help themselves deserve help from others. I lend you my strength only if you want to resist. Others will help you only if you want to break free from the predicament."

"If you don't want to resist, he will use his own power to eliminate all injustice." - Kasumigaoka thought so in his heart, but did not say it out loud. This was just an idea that Li Nian planned to put into practice, not a truth he wanted to tell the girl.

"You are indeed lucky to meet someone like me who has the means and enthusiasm to help you, so I took the initiative to help you. But you have to know that not everyone is so lucky. In fact, situations like yours are not uncommon in this world, and are often even more terrifying. What everyone faces is not the hostility and conventional indifference of weak high school students, but truly terrifying enemies. They may be evil forces with more cruel means, or smarter and more powerful people in society and almost strict rules, or even huge entities and malice on the scale of a country... Those struggles are more dangerous and more isolated. They will really get hurt, fail, and suffer tragic circumstances. Even if they fight hard, they may not win. Victory is not inevitable, and destruction is just commonplace."

Li Nian's mind was wandering far away, and these words were mostly just his own thoughts. He recalled the experiences of "Li Nian" in the past, and also recalled his own battles, reviewing them with an almost indifferent attitude.

"But they still have to fight, because not fighting will lead to a more miserable end. The nature of struggle is like this. It is often not out of courage or a noble heart, but out of the need to survive. Struggle is not rare, it exists in every corner and in every creature. Teacher Nayuta, you are no exception. You will definitely encounter injustice and injustice in the future. You may not be lucky enough to have someone like me to help you. You must learn to face it to the best of your ability, using your own strength and the strength around you... Ah, sorry, I have a bad habit of thinking too much, and I accidentally started preaching again."

"...No one has ever told me this." Karina Yuta listened carefully and replied, "So it is because I didn't fight that I suffered so much. I think it makes sense and I will remember it."

Li Nian shook her head: "...It doesn't matter if you don't remember. People in this world don't need to live a life of bitterness and hatred, especially you. You are a young girl in your prime, why do you say that you have a dark heart? It's just that you haven't seen enough light... You are not a weak person. In fact, your predicament should be easy to solve. Just enjoy your life in the future."

After saying that, Li Nian waved his hand casually, and the talisman hovering in his palm flashed with light, shot through the chest, and sank into the girl's body.

Karina Yuta covered her bulging chest and felt a warm feeling there.

The runes made by Li Nian are not very complicated techniques. Simply put, they are a gathering of energy. After combining with the heart, they will burst out with power when stimulated, merge into the blood, and be transported to the whole body with the beating of the heart. At that time, the recipient will get comprehensive physical strengthening and then gain the strength to fight ten people.

"Ah..." The strange phenomenon disappeared just like that, and Yamada Fairy subconsciously made a regretful sound. She was taking out her mobile phone to take pictures with shining eyes, but she had no time to take pictures. However, she also understood that a force had entered the girl's body. When she thought of this, Yamada Fairy became interested again. Looking at Karina Yuta's magnificent chest, she wanted to pull off her clothes to see if there was any mark left on the skin where the runes disappeared, and she couldn't help asking Li Nian.

"And then what? How will Nayuta-sensei use this powerful force? What will be the specific effects and external manifestations? Will there be any transformation segments and lines? For example, shouting, "Moon! Give me strength!" and then performing a transformation action like Kamen Rider?"

"…It's not some powerful power. It doesn't have any special effects or external manifestations, and it doesn't have any transformation."

"Why is this happening..." Fairy Yamada sighed in disappointment. Not only her, but several boys also showed expressions of regret.

"... Although it is possible to add some special effects and lines to start the process." Li Nian also became interested. He rubbed his chin and asked Karina Yuta curiously: "Karina Yuta, are you interested in becoming a magical girl?"

"No." Karina Yuta answered without hesitation.

"...This is such a pity." Li Nian smacked his lips in regret, "Ah, then there is no transformation procedure, and it only requires a thought... Oh no, a spell to activate it. If you want to use that power, just shout [Eat the Ryujin no Ken] during a fight... That'll be it."

"You ended up adding your own personal thoughts!" Izumi could tell at a glance that it was a spell that Li Nian had thought of on the spur of the moment... Anyone with normal intelligence could tell that, and Izumi, who was complaining, was actually thinking, "You did a good job, brother!"

Ker Nayuta stared at Li Nian for a long while, and the latter looked back at her without giving in, and replied: "The spell is to give you a specific image in your mind when you recite it, which can serve as a trigger condition, just like making a trigger that needs to be pulled, so that you don't trigger the spell on a whim. It is still necessary."

"Teacher Muzi is also quite mean..." Ke'er Nayuta nodded helplessly. She was innocent but not stupid. How could she not understand that this was Li Nian's whim and deliberately set it up? After thinking about it, she nodded: "Okay, I will read it."

"Well, then I'm looking forward to the scene where you chant the spell, beat up those bad guys who bullied you like a god of war, and then return triumphantly." Li Nian felt that there was nothing to worry about after what he had done. At this moment, the waiter pushed open the door and entered the box, bringing out the various barbecues he ordered. Li Nian took them up and started eating before anyone else. He was relieved and shifted his attention to the food: "Okay, I believe that Karin Nayuta-sensei will have a refreshing college life in the future. Everyone don't have to worry too much. You can eat something to calm down."

In fact, it's something that hasn't been done yet and there's no conclusion. But Nayuta stroked her chest and said, it's impossible for her to get rid of her fear just like that.

"...Mr. Muzi, you look like you've already done it, but you're actually instigating a fight." Ms. Machida thought this was better than expelling someone from school, so she hesitated and asked, "Will this solve the problem?"

"Think carefully, compared to spending so much effort and time to go through the process of expelling others, maybe a slap in the face is simpler, more direct and more effective... After destroying the monsters that block your mind, you will find that they are just paper tigers, and all kinds of problems will be solved naturally in the future." Li Nian glanced at Kanayuta over there and said lightly: "If one slap is not enough, try a few more times. That power is not a one-time use. You can use it again after drying it in the sun."

Karina Yuta was stunned, and then she felt more at ease. It was not because this person said that she could use this power more, but because she felt that she should not be afraid anymore after being helped to this extent.

"Not only is it rechargeable, but it's also solar powered?!" Izumi was shocked: "Didn't you just casually cultivate a magical girl? I think she is."

"Teacher Muzi, I, I, I want it too! Teacher Karina Yuta doesn't want to be a magical girl but I do! Can you sign a contract with me too? And give me one of the Sun Rune as well." The fairy Yamada's eyes were already sparkling with stars. She was so greedy. The middle school girl wanted that kind of power so much. She had fantasized countless times that she could fly over rooftops, walk on walls, and beat up all kinds of villains. Now a real exorcist appeared before her, giving others that kind of power, making her feel that she also had the possibility of realizing all her previous dreams.

"No, Mr. Yamada is not being bullied, so he doesn't need strength."

"I'm going to offend the bad girls in my class and ask them to bully me when I get back!"

"Then you deserve to be punished. I will just watch quietly, oh no, clap my hands and cheer."

"Please!" The arrogant Yamada fairy actually lowered his head and begged.

"Strength is like a sword. If not used properly, it will hurt others and yourself. It cannot be granted casually." Li Nian had an indifferent expression and refused righteously. He was unwavering and had no intention of granting power casually.

Although it was a bit sudden for him to reveal his identity as an exorcist, this man had the awe-inspiring aura of a master, and his words also revealed his corresponding cultivation, making people feel that the rare identity of an exorcist was not so strange appearing on this man. The words he said before, combined with his identity, were even more interesting. Everyone could see that Li Nian was not only an exorcist, but also a man of strong principles. Hearing this, they were all impressed.

"I'll pay for it! Is ten million enough?!" Yamada Fairy still didn't give up.

"…Although it is a sword, I believe that Mr. Yamada has the heart of a strong man who can wield a sword." Li Nian changed his tone with an indifferent expression. It seems that in his eyes, principles are nothing before money. Everyone's impression of Li Nian was overturned at once. The so-called master is simply an illusion. In essence, he is just a mercenary guy.

"This guy has the heart of a strong man!" Izumi hurriedly reminded: "Don't waver, Li Nian! People like you shouldn't change your principles for a mere 10 million!"

"That's 10 million..."

"Izumi, don't ruin my business?!" Yamada the Fairy shouted angrily.

"Fairy, don't make things difficult for others."

Finally, Li Nian woke up with difficulty and did not sell the rune that gave power for "only" 10 million... Mainly because the Yamada fairy was restrained by Izumi's words "If your brother knew that you spent 10 million on such a stupid thing", he reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​bribing with money.

After they made such a fuss, the previous solemn atmosphere disappeared, and everyone knew that Li Nian had indeed solved the problem of Teacher Karin Nayuta from the root in every sense of the word.

Having been helped to this extent, Karina Yuta was not stupid enough to think that it was a gift that she could accept as a matter of course. She bowed solemnly to Teacher Muzi and thanked him: "Thank you very much for what you have done for me. I wonder how I can repay you?"

Li Nian accepted the bow calmly and then proposed the compensation he wanted: "If I want to repay you, I hope that Mr. Kanayuta can write more interesting stories in the future... the kind of stories that can make people feel warm."

Ker Nayuta was silent for a while, then said, "I don't really want to write any more books."

The grand prize winner expressed her intention to stop writing, which really shocked everyone, especially her editor, Ms. Yamagata, who was even more shocked at this time: "Teacher Karina Yuta? Please think twice! You are really a talented author, it would be a waste to stop writing like this!"

"Writing is too painful for me... It was originally like this." Karina Yuta changed the subject: "But now, I think I can write happily. At this moment, I have a lot of ideas that I want to write down. They are not painful."

Yamagata breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Ms. Machida. From the perspective of the library, it was no big deal for a grand prize winner to stop writing after writing a book. She also felt that Karina Yuta was an unscrupulous author with no future. She had been doubting whether it was the right thing to bring Li Nian here, but now it seemed that if Li Nian hadn't comforted the girl, she would have really stopped writing.

"Life is beautiful." Li Nian said with a smile: "After the dark clouds are cleared, Teacher Karina will naturally see more light in the future."

"Light... yes, today I saw the light and knew that someone recognized me, cared about me, and was willing to help me."

"Haha, Karina Yuta-sensei is such an excellent author. Keep working hard. I believe that more people will recognize you, care about you, and help you in the future."

"But you are still the first one, Mr. Muzi." Ke'er Nayuta looked directly at Li Nian: "Your real name is, Li Nian, right?"

Izumi called him by his real name, Li Nian, so it was not surprising that Kanayuta remembered him. Li Nian was not surprised and joked, "Yes, do you know Chinese characters? Muzi Li is the surname, Jin Xinnian is the name, and that's how my pen name came about."

"Can I call you by your real name?"

"Hmm? Ah, whatever you want."

"Well, read?"

The air suddenly became quiet again.

Li Nian was stunned, then shuddered, feeling uncomfortable all over and covered with goose bumps, and decisively refused.

"In my hometown, there is no custom of calling people by their single names. No one has ever called me by a nickname in my life. If you want to call me, just call me by my full name like Izumi does."

Chapter 388 The Second Meeting Ended Successfully

"...Oh, then, Li Nian?"

"Yeah, that sounds much better."

Li Nian nodded in satisfaction, then noticed that everyone in the room was looking at him with strange eyes, and asked in confusion: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing, nothing."

“We don’t find it weird at all.”

"It just felt quite sudden."

Everyone talks about him.

Kasumigaoka sighed, "...I think you really deserve to be single."

Li Nian was stunned. He was not a fool. He could hear what Kasumigaoka was pointing at. He knew that everyone was looking at him strangely because they were thinking about something.

He snorted in boredom.

In Japan, people are very particular about how they address others. Only those who are close to them call each other by their first names - but that is just a general rule that has been accepted by common sense. In this era, it is no longer a strongly symbolic phenomenon. Li Nian knew that these guys were imagining things just because a girl called them by their first name, and he sneered at this.

They all love gossip. When you call someone's name, they will think of something else and will have to imagine something romantic.

Li Nian could sense that Karina Yuta, who suddenly suggested calling him by his real name, had some intimacy in mind, but so what? It was just a normal phenomenon. He had helped her a lot, and it was normal for her to want to get to know him better.

"Senior, you really need to cure your love-brain problem."

"…I think it's your straight-boy brain that needs treatment."

Kasumigaoka was very unhappy and pushed back. This guy always didn't take other girls' favorability increase seriously. He always thought that "this is a normal interpersonal phenomenon". It would be strange if there was no romantic connection in his mind. He didn't think about how rare it was to make a girl express her favorability...

But she turned to look at Kanayuta, who didn't think her behavior was strange. She just stared at Li Nian in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking. She saw everyone's reactions but couldn't figure out what was going on. She tilted her head, not understanding everyone's strange behavior or her own abrupt behavior, and asked, "What's wrong? Did I do something strange again?"

Li Nian said: "It's nothing strange, it's just that everyone here is either a writer or related to writers, and they are good at daydreaming. Don't worry about it."

After hearing what Li Nian said and seeing Karina Yuta's reaction, everyone felt that they might have thought too much. Karina Yuta looked normal and everyone could see that she was a very simple child, the kind who was straightforward and would express her affection directly. She didn't have all those twists and turns in her mind like people like them.

Kasumigaoka also felt that maybe she was just overthinking because of love, as the child didn't seem to have any other intentions.

"Oh." Karina Yuta ignored all that and continued to say to Li Nian: "Also, Li Nian, can you give me your contact information?"

"...Okay, you can tell me if there's anything going on. Wanna play with Line?"

“…Not much, but it’s there.”

The two added each other as friends on Line. Karina looked at her phone happily and said, "That's great... I can chat with you when I have something to say?"

"can."

Kasumigaoka: “…” She began to doubt if this child really had no other intentions?

Kanayuta stared at her phone and said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I added a new person to my contact list."

Li Nian could understand Ker Nayuta's situation. She didn't have a good relationship with her classmates, so the number of her friends on Line should have not increased for a long time: "It will increase in the future... Teachers here, why don't you add a friend together?"

Li Nian took the opportunity to bring up this matter. The original intention of this gathering was to allow new and old authors to strengthen their ties. Now after experiencing the incident with Kanayuta, everyone had a stronger sense of solidarity in the process of coming up with ideas together. Knowing Li Nian's identity as an exorcist, everyone was quite curious about such a rare creature. Li Nian was very active in the matter of Kanayuta, showing his easy-going personality, hatred of evil, and high abilities. He was the most eye-catching person in the room at this moment. He initiated the exchange of contact information, which was exactly what everyone wanted. They took out their mobile phones and added each other on Line.

Only the old man didn't use LINE, so he asked everyone for their cell phone numbers, and then they all exchanged email addresses and phone numbers with each other.

Generally speaking, there are many cases in the world where people never contact each other again after exchanging contact information, but everyone cares about Kanayuta's affairs and wants to follow her subsequent developments. Li Nian's special profession also makes people concerned. It is still Mr. Fuwa who takes on the responsibility of a senior and takes the initiative to say: "If you are interested, I hope we can have the opportunity to get together like this in the future." He shows his intention to get in touch further.

The Yamada fairy was more straightforward. From beginning to end, she never spoke to the guys she was not interested in, but she showed her concern for the ones she was interested in. She looked at Kani Nayuta and Kasumigaoka a few more times with excitement and curiosity, and even more of the time she kept her eyes off the exorcist who suddenly popped up. At this time, she immediately said to Li Nian: "Yes, yes, I also have a lot of things I want to ask Teacher Muzi. If I invite you to my tea party, you are not allowed to refuse! Of course, Teachers Kasumigao Shiko and Kani Nayuta are also invited!"

"I also want to talk more with Li Nian and Kasumigaoka." Izumi was more interested in the author fellow in the same school, so he mentioned it.

Bupo was already an old acquaintance of these two, so he would definitely be included if they were to get together. He smiled and said, "Oh, I'm looking forward to the opportunity to deepen my relationship with these outstanding juniors."

Li Nian was not opposed to deepening his connection with senior writers. These were people he had a good impression of, so Li Nian naturally nodded in agreement.

Ker Nayuta answered more directly, "If Li Nian participates, I would like to come too."

Li Nian raised an eyebrow. What do you mean you want to come if I attend? But he didn't think much about it, just thinking that he didn't dare to attend the party alone.

"It's an opportunity. You should learn from your seniors how to write popular works." Ms. Machida smiled at Kasumigaoka Promotions and said, "Xiao Shi, you don't want your new work to die violently again, right?"

Kasumigaoka snorted unhappily, urging her to agree. It wasn't that she wasn't good at socializing, she was just too lazy to take the initiative. After actually meeting them, she no longer had any bad feelings towards the seniors. Li Nian had agreed, and she was looking forward to participating in the exchange between authors with this guy. So she nodded to the seniors, expressing her willingness to participate, and turned to Kanayuta and said seriously, "If possible, I really want to ask Kanayuta-sensei for advice. Ms. Machida said that our styles are similar. Are you interested in chatting?"

Ker Nayuta was stunned. She was confused when such a senior writer asked her for advice: "I... don't think I'm that great, and I don't know how to teach others."

"You'll understand naturally as we chat."

"…Okay then."

“Hehehe…” Ms. Machida laughed with ill intent. She knew that Kasumigaoka didn’t mention that she had said that Karin Nayuta’s level of performance in the same style was far better than hers, so she must be feeling dissatisfied.

Kasumigaoka pretended not to notice the look in Ms. Machida's eyes.

Spiritual disasters have occurred frequently recently, and no one can guarantee that they will not be involved in them. There is definitely no harm in knowing an exorcist... or like Yamada, other people who were simply curious about Li Nian also talked to Li Nian, expressing their desire to talk more with him or contact him again if there was a chance. Li Nian accepted everyone and agreed readily.

The atmosphere gradually became heated at this time. While eating and drinking, the conversation became more and more heated. Although they had different personalities, they were all interesting and decent people. In fact, they did not have many utilitarian thoughts. As authors gathered together, they had the same ambitions and had no shortage of things to communicate and express. Even the introverted guys were aroused. Kanayuta was also obviously much more cheerful and was able to join in the topic. Kasumigaoka, who had no interest in others, also expressed her own views on things that interested her.

To this extent, it can be said that this party was quite successful.

The group dispersed when the last tram was about to arrive.

The few adult male writers who were drinking seemed to be having a very pleasant chat and drinking, including the middle-aged man with the weird XP of "liking to spank girls". They planned to continue drinking until dawn.

But Bupo did not continue drinking with everyone, and everyone else also planned to go back.

Before they parted, Yamada Fairy repeatedly emphasized to Li Nian: "If you are invited, you must come." Li Nian had to solemnly promise before she left satisfied.

The conversation ended with Fuwa saying, “I look forward to seeing you next time.” and Izumi saying, “See you at school.” Then everyone went home.

Ms. Machida drove the car and planned to take Kasumigaoka and Li Nian back home.

In the car, Ms. Machida said with emotion: "It was a good decision to bring Teacher Muzi with me. It was all thanks to Teacher Muzi that this party ended successfully. We were almost silenced by Teacher Kani Nayuta."

It was indeed Li Nian's credit that the atmosphere was not dampened by Kanayuta's incident. The party was able to end successfully thanks to Li Nian's promotion.

Li Nian shook his head: "Everyone here is a good person. Even without me, there will be people who will find a way to help Teacher Nayuta. For example, Teacher Yamada obviously doesn't intend to leave her alone."

"If we let that idiot run wild, it will really turn into a disaster. It's true that Mr. Yamada's works sell well, and it's also true that people don't have brains... Although the way your gang fights isn't any better."

Li Nian did not comment.
