Comprehensive Anime: My Five Senses Are Linked with the Top Daughters of Ten Thousand Worlds
Her expression was incredibly conflicted—with their five senses linked, the feeling of fullness from Jiang Lianqiu and her own body's hunger were tormenting her brain.
The proctor didn't think much of it, assuming the girl had simply eaten too much. After she bounced away, he swept his gaze over the exam papers and immediately frowned.
"Something's not right..."
"Not a single typo!?"
"Is this really Big Pillow Li? She hasn't been possessed by Suiyang, has she!!!"
...Divider...
After breakfast, Utaha Kasumigaoka and Eriri dutifully went to school.
Eriri declared that she had "magnanimously wiped away the mark of flesh from the gloomy girl," and in exchange, Utaha owed her a day of good luck.
Meanwhile, Jiang Lianqiu continued to take leave, much to the exasperation of his homeroom teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka.
Jiang Lianqiu was practically becoming a legend at the school. He enrolled as the top student and freshman representative, only to disappear without a trace after the first day.
Feeling that she had to fulfill her responsibilities as a teacher at the very least, Shizuka Hiratsuka called him to inquire about his situation. Ultimately, she had no choice but to let him continue his vanishing act after he guaranteed he would attend the exams and promised to return to school immediately if he wasn't the top student.
"Busy, busy, it's good to be busy..."
In the office, the lonely Shizuka sighed deeply.
Students nowadays were more individualistic than ever. First, there was a light novel author who debuted in high school, and then there was a scion of a wealthy family who went missing right after school started.
Oh, and there was one more in her class.
The girl from the Yukino family was also the type whose personality alone was a headache. She insisted on "changing and saving the world by helping others" and founded a strange club.
If it weren't for Hiyori's instructions to look after her, she really wouldn't have wanted to be the advisor for the 'Service Club,' which sounded terrible just from its name.
"There are too many problem children in the Reiwa era. They can't all be from another world, can they?"
While the aging single woman was lamenting, the true problem child from another world had already left Earth.
Von Noymiau worked quickly. The teleportation array connecting Ginza Argentum Tower to the Ophiuchus Zeta starport, four hundred light-years away, had been successfully activated the previous night.
At this moment, Jiang Lianqiu was in the observation room, looking down through the floor-to-ceiling window at the headless body of Kars on the research table.
Incredibly, Kars, despite being decapitated, was still alive according to Von Noymiau's assessment—or rather, his body still had the potential to regain life.
It was only because his body had been continuously exposed to artificial ultraviolet light that it remained in a petrified state. If the light were removed and he were given some time, he might even regrow his head.
"I think even without the Red Stone of Aja, his vitality could be called that of an ultimate being."
Jiang Lianqiu touched his own neck, not believing he could survive losing his head.
However, nothing significant could be researched in just one night, and Von Noymiau already had many tasks on her hands. Jiang Lianqiu didn't disturb her and, after watching for a while, went to a training ground prepared for him at the starport.
"Ten times gravity."
In the spacious training ground, Jiang Lianqiu issued a command to the control center's AI.
Instantly, immense pressure was applied to his body.
After a moment of adaptation, Jiang Lianqiu drew his greatsword and began his routine training.
An individual's strength might have its limits, but he was still far from reaching them.
Excluding other interfering factors, supernatural abilities, and the assistance of various combat mecha technologies, his combat power was only on par with Su Shang's. He still had a lot of work to do.
Meanwhile, in the Cloud Cavalry training grounds, Su Shang, who shared Jiang Lianqiu's five senses, felt an immense pressure increase, even though the ten times gravity wasn't actually affecting her.
Gritting her teeth, the young girl swung her longsword in perfect synchronization with Jiang Lianqiu, a sight that stunned the surrounding Cloud Cavalry recruits.
A Cloud Cavalry recruit, eager to test his skills, jumped in front of Su Shang and challenged her: "Miss Su Shang, let's spar!"
Jiang Lianqiu, who was training under ten times gravity, his eyes flashed.
"Shang Shang, accept."
"Okay!"
Su Shang raised her greatsword. "Come on!"
Following that, without disengaging the gravity suppression, Jiang Lianqiu, through their shared senses, "together" with Su Shang, engaged in a fierce battle against the Cloud Cavalry recruit.
Su Shang was physically facing the opponent, while Jiang Lianqiu was like playing a VR game. The only difference was that all the feedback from this game was real, and he himself was enduring far greater pressure than in a "game."
On a distant pavilion, Fei Xiao, who had come to watch the recruit training once again, observed the apricot-yellow figure from beginning to end, nodding in approval.
"The Li family's young lady is improving at an incredible pace."
"Tsk, I don't even want to send her to Luofu anymore. Such a promising talent should stay in my Yao Qing and fight alongside this general."
"I heard she got a perfect score on her makeup exam this time?"
A blue figure appeared silently behind him.
With his hood obscuring half his face, Mo Ze, with his head bowed, said in a low voice, "That is indeed true, but... judging by her writing style, handwriting, and even the perfect score, it doesn't resemble that Li family girl. Based on her past performance, a day or two of tutoring is not enough for such a drastic transformation."
"But the exam monitoring showed no abnormalities."
Fei Xiao's interest deepened.
"Interesting. If this girl didn't have a sudden epiphany overnight, then someone... is testing something."
"No matter, let's play with him for a bit!"
Mo Ze hesitated and asked, "Should we change Miss Li's service assignment?"
"No, keep it as is. After training ends, she'll still go to Luofu." Fei Xiao stretched and twisted his neck. "I'm a rough man, better at battlefield combat than meticulously analyzing various secret intelligence. The Divine Strategy General is more suited for that than me."
Suddenly, seeing Su Shang unleash a skillful sword strike, Fei Xiao's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "What great footwork! Yes, yes, yes! That's how it should be! Move with power and speed, like you're covering a thousand miles in a day!"
The next second, the Cloud Cavalry rookie sparring with Su Shang was sent flying out of the ring by the girl (Jiang Lianqiu) with a single sword strike.
"Whoa! Nice!"
"Miss Su Shang! Amazing!"
"Quack! Miss Su Shang has the bearing of an emperor!"
"You know, Miss Su Shang and I are from the same neighborhood. This guy is incredibly strong. I've known her for a long time. As for that random passerby over there, I can only wish him good luck..."
The surrounding Cloud Cavalry Army erupted in cheers.
