There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

"Wait, about the future plans..."

"It's because I need to arrange for you that I have to go back first. Really, do you understand how much trouble you are causing others by suddenly showing up and shouting that you want to become an exorcist?"

Jianshan looked at Li Nian with a smile.

Li Nian was silent for a while, then immediately bowed

"Indeed, I have caused you a lot of trouble unilaterally. I am very sorry."

"It seems that you are not completely without self-awareness." Isayama sighed and straightened his expression: "Don't get me wrong, I am willing to recommend you because you really have talent."

“…Thank you for the compliment.”

"I'm serious. The terrifyingly deep cursed power in your body, the delicate control of spiritual power as if it were your arm, the self-taught method of figuring out the body strengthening and ice attribute spiritual power conversion method, the ability to see through and learn the spell I use at a glance... These qualities really make it hard to imagine that you are someone who just awakened [Seeing Ghosts] half a month ago. Everything proves that you are indeed very talented." Isayama hesitated for a moment, and added: "It can be said that you have already passed the most difficult basic part. If you can learn the spell like you did today... seeing through and learning it at a glance, maybe you can really become an exorcist soon."

“…I hope so too.”

"I still want to persuade you to choose another path." Isayama changed the subject: "But I have to admit that our industry has always been short of manpower and lacks fresh blood."

This was the first time Li Nian heard this topic. He was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it for a while, he began to understand.

He had previously felt that exorcists might be extremely rare, and what Isayama said was merely an admission of his guess.

"I have high hopes for you and am willing to help you." Isayama looked straight into Li Nian's eyes: "I also hope that your idea of ​​becoming an exorcist is as serious as you say."

“I’ll give you the results to prove it.”

……

……

After bidding farewell to Isayama, Li Nian was sorting out the information on his way back to Sakurasou.

During the conversation with Isayama, he got a glimpse of the so-called exorcist industry, which seemed to be somewhat different from what he had always known.

Isayama has always emphasized that anyone with the ability can become an exorcist.

As for the so-called qualification certificate, it seemed unimportant to her. She said that she could get it with just a word.

On the contrary, exorcists have always been in short supply.

Can this explain the three characteristics respectively?

The industry of exorcists is one that values ​​merit above all else, places a premium on interpersonal relationships, and is made up of a small number of people.

It’s an opaque, small society…

Li Nian has always had the impression that exorcists are the same as policemen and civil servants, but now he has a vague feeling that this idea seems to be wrong.

As for what this industry is like... maybe I will have to wait until I enter it as an exorcist to see it clearly...

Li Nian returned to Sakurasou with a heavy heart. As he approached the wooden door, he suddenly heard the sound of a car starting. He looked up and saw a truck that seemed to be from a moving company and seemed to have just left.

"Um……?"

Why is there a moving company truck coming?

Li Nian was very puzzled. She opened the door doubtfully and saw three people standing opposite the entrance.

The sliding sound of the wooden door opening also attracted the other party's attention, and they looked over.

"...Ah, it's classmate Li Nian who's back."

"Newcomer-kun! You're back just in time! Be thankful, from now on you are finally not at the bottom of the pyramid!"

"As far as I know, I have always been at the bottom of the Sakurasou pyramid... No, Misaki-senpai, I warn you not to do anything weird to Shiina-san, okay?"

Two of them were naturally Kanda and Kamiigusa, but Li Nian didn't look at them. His eyes were already on the unknown girl between them.

She is a slender girl with willow-shaped eyebrows, phoenix eyes, fair skin and smooth golden hair.

Who is this?

Li Nian was thinking about it, and then he met the clear, seemingly inorganic gaze directed at him, and was stunned again.

I always feel that this girl has a very strange vibe.

"Student Li Nian, you may not know me yet. Let me introduce her to you."

Kanda said.

"This is the new resident who moved into Sakurasou today, Shiina Mashiro."

Chapter 40 Check-in

Newly moved here?

Never heard of it before.

"What's wrong, newcomer? Why do you look so confused?" Kamiigusa blinked.

Li Nian did have some questions to ask, but after he exchanged a glance with Kamiigusa, he gave up on talking to the senior and turned to Kanda.

"What's happening?"

When asked this, Kanda looked as if he didn’t know where to start.

"Don't ask me, I don't really understand. I was caught by Chihiro after school today. She suddenly told me that her cousin was coming back to Japan to study. Then she unreasonably asked me to pick someone up at the station, and brought Shiina here."

Is she Qianxun's cousin? There is absolutely no blood relationship between the two.

"…By the way, you just mentioned coming back to Japan?"

"Shiina-san seemed to have lived in England before."

"That's why she has that blonde hair..."

"Yes, he seems to be of English and Japanese descent."

hmmmmmm…

This is a rare setting, but Li Nian always feels like he has bumped into someone he knows...

Li Nian thought of a blonde with twin ponytails. She was called Sawamura, and her character was a blonde young lady of British and Japanese descent.

Having said that, these two people give people completely different feelings...

Li Nian looked at Mashiro again. The girl said nothing and stared at him blankly with clear eyes.

Looking at her from head to toe, Li Nian felt that this girl gave people a delicate and fragile feeling, as if she was very ethereal and pure...

It doesn't match the atmosphere of Sakurasou... Why do you live in a place like this? Because of Chihiro?

"Shiina-kun, right? Nice to meet you. I'm Li Nian."

Li Nian just greeted her and gave her name. In response, the girl named Shiina Mashiro just tilted her head, suddenly lowered her eyes, looked at Li Nian's chest, and said without thinking: "Red..."

"what?"

Li Nian was stunned, and looked down following her gaze, and saw the red ribbon on his chest.

Are you talking about this ribbon?

Although I didn't quite understand what she was talking about, I decided to continue with the conversation and picked up the ribbon to signal her.

"It's red, yes. As you can see, I'm a second-year student in Group F. Where's Shiina?"

"…Second year J class."

Her voice was so soft and thin, as if it was carried by the wind, and it would be easy to miss it if you were not careful.

"……Oh!"

Li Nian had good hearing and could hear it clearly, and couldn't help but let out a low exclamation.

Speaking of Class J, it is different from other classes. It is a special class distinguished from the other grades. Most of its members are children of returnees and people who volunteer to study abroad. They are known for their excellent academic performance. In the eyes of people in the school, it is an elite class... If Shiina really came back from the UK, then he does meet the condition of being a child of returnees.

"Okay, okay, don't stand at the entrance, take her to the room quickly." Kamiigusa urged them while jogging on the spot.

"It's all because of you, Misaki-senpai, that we are blocked here!"

"I finally have a neighbor! Will she come over to my place to spend the night, or invite me to spend the night over? Wow, little Mashiro looks so nice to touch, I really want to hold her in my arms while sleeping! I'm getting excited!"

Li Nian rolled his eyes.

"Hearing what you said, we are starting to feel uneasy. I'd like to take this opportunity to make it clear that not everyone is as generous as me and Kanda. Shiina-san looks like a slender girl, so I advise you not to mess around."

"What's the matter? Mashiro-chan hasn't said anything yet! Right, Mashiro? Come and sleep with me."

"No."

"Being rejected outright?!"

Misaki fell to the ground as if she had been shot in the heart.

"See, others don't want to." Li Nian said coldly: "Senior sister, you have noticed that your strange actions will cause trouble to others, right? Look, you've already made people dislike you from the beginning."

Shiina shook her head.

"I don't hate Misaki."

"Resurrection with full blood!" Kamiigusa jumped up.

"Not at night." Shiina said, "I have work tonight."

Work?

Li Nian and Kanda looked at each other, confused.

"Come on, let's go, let's show Mashiro-chan the room first."

Kamiigusa took Mashiro's hand and ran upstairs. Kanda took a step to catch up with him, but suddenly remembered that the second floor was a girls' territory where boys were forbidden to go. His body stiffened, and Li Nian could see that he was hesitant.

"Are you confident in entrusting Shiina-san to Kamiigusa? Go up and check out the situation first."

Li Nian walked up the stairs first, followed by Kanda.

On the door of Room 202, there is a sign that reads "Mashiro's Room" with a mysterious cartoon pattern on it.

“I made it last night!”

Misaki patted her chest proudly.

"You were playing video games all night yesterday!" Kanda complained loudly as the victim.

Misaki was unfazed and opened the door without the room's owner's permission.

"Qiang Qiang!"

Kanda and Li Nian took a look and saw that what they thought should be an empty room with nothing in it, was actually a bed, a dressing table, a desk, a computer with a large screen, clothes and other luggage had been moved in and completely organized.

That’s why you see the moving company’s vehicles leaving. Did they just come and finish their work?

"How is it? My work efficiency is amazing! I have already finished all the work while you were away. Great! Moving company! So professional! You are so professional!"

"Yes, yes. Now we know that you haven't tried hard at all."

"I was supervising carefully beside him~~"

Li Nian looked around the room, but she had to say that she felt that the layout was quite good. The small space was well utilized and exuded a neat beauty. This should indeed be attributed to Misaki. After all, the staff of the moving company were the ones who did the labor, and the placement of the furniture still had to be ordered by the owner... Li Nian remembered that Misaki was not the owner of the room, and went to look at the expression of the new girl.

Shiina, who was about to move into the room, just watched their conversation in silence and expressionlessness. Her face showed no joy or sadness, and it was unclear whether she was satisfied or not.

"Ah, I'm so happy~~ I finally have a neighbor, and he's also a fellow art student."

Misaki had an intoxicated expression on her face and wanted to get closer to Mashiro, but Kanda blocked her by pressing his head.

"Arts?" Li Nian noticed the special words.

"Yeah, you don't know? You don't know? You two are so naive and immature! The key to victory or defeat in modern wars is all based on intelligence! People like you deserve to never find a girlfriend in your life!"

Li Nian's heart was calm and he selectively ignored Kamiigusa's nonsense. Kanda, who was cursed for no reason, smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.

"So what do you know, Senior?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Misaki shook her finger with an expression that said "you really don't understand." "Mashiro is a very famous figure in the modern design art world! I heard that she received elite art education in the UK since she was a child. She has exhibited several paintings in art galleries abroad and won awards! They can be sold for a lot of money!"

Li Nian and Kanda turned around and wanted to confirm the news with the person himself, but Shiina still looked at them blankly, as if it had nothing to do with him. However, judging from his attitude that he never denied it, it seemed to be the fact.

"Paintings that can sell for a lot of money..."

Li Nian knew that this clichéd sentence was actually proof that her creative level had reached a high level.

Is there another big shot coming to Sakurasou?
