Perhaps it's all just a way of escaping.

Looking at the blackboard, although Ziong MingDe's mind is not focused on it, after some contemplation, he comes to a conclusion.

For those who find studying life boring, the so-called desire for an extraordinary life, such as the sudden arrival of doomsday or the bestowal of superpowers by gods and demons, or time travel to the past or future... all these fantasies are simply an attempt to escape from their current lives.

Why? Because they are weak in their current lives and have no power or willingness to change the status quo on their own.

And those who choose a normal life and resist the extraordinary are fearful of change and challenges.

As the saying goes, the fear of humans comes from the unknown.

Those who are content with the status quo and fearful of change are not necessarily better off than those who fail.

Ziong MingDe realizes that for a normal teenager, is it better to have an ordinary academic life or an extraordinary one like himself? Is it good or bad for their future?

And the answer is, there is no answer.

No one can choose their own life.

And for him, Ziong MingDe, now that his goal has been reached, there is no longer the need for him to play the role of "Ziongzong".

It is time to prepare for the life of "Ziong MingDe".

At the same time, in a elementary school in Kyoto, Uesugi Yuki sits obediently at her desk.

However, she is not completely focused on listening to the lesson, just like Ziong MingDe, she is also daydreaming.

At Uesugi Yuki's age as an elementary school student, the reasons for daydreaming in class are usually trivial.

But Uesugi Yuki is different. At this moment, she is worried about Koga Mizuo.

Today, Koga Mizuo skipped class, and Uesugi Yuki is the accomplice who helped her escape.

Koga Mizuo skipped class in order to investigate the mastermind behind the previous incident, and the reason she chose to sneak out during class time is to avoid worrying her mother, Koga Shie, unnecessarily.

Uesugi Yuki, who strongly agrees with Hydrogen's ideas and goals, for once becomes a "bad child" and helps her deceive and cover up.

However, now she begins to worry about Hydrogen's safety.

When she agreed to help Hydrogen, she didn't consider the safety issues too much. Only when she calms down from her excitement does she realize that the investigation Hydrogen is conducting is far more dangerous than the word "danger" can express.

As she thinks about this more, Yuki becomes more eager to go to Hydrogen's side immediately and share the burden with her.

All these thoughts make Uesugi Yuki restless and uneasy, but she can't act on her own desires easily.

No one can choose their own life.

At the same time, in a police station in Kyoto, Koga Shie sits in an office, having a conversation with a police officer.

"To be honest, as you mentioned, the previous incident hasn't been completely resolved."

Sitting across from Koga Shie is Dojou Kazuaki wearing a police uniform.

Since their encounter in the park last time, Dojou Kazuaki realized the seriousness of the situation. After verbally advising Koga Shie on safety precautions, he took the initiative to invite her to the police station for a more detailed investigation and discussion.

"Currently, all I can tell you is that this matter is dangerous. Please do not actively get involved and make sure to take care of your child, ensuring she doesn't get caught up in the events."

Dojou Kazuaki's voice is sincere and carries a stern warning.
