"Chūnibyō—hehe, wouldn't it be interesting if what people thought was Chūnibyō wasn't Chūnibyō at all, but a real existence?" Xia Wei stroked his chin, a slight curve on his lips, radiating an aura of 'fun-seeker' from head to toe.
Humanity's most powerful strength is actually 'imagination.' It is precisely because of 'imagination' that humanity entered civilization.
One day in human history, a primitive man looked up at the sky, observing the incomprehensible forces of nature, imagining these phenomena to be some mysterious existence, thus leading to awe, belief, worship, and the emergence of deities.
Everything human civilization possesses is based on these two spiritual foundations: 'imagination' and 'desire.'
Given that 'conceptual skills' appeared on Shizuka Marikawa, it's not impossible for Chūnibyō to also manifest unexpected abilities.
Xia Wei walked into the 'Heavenly Realm Gate,' and with a blur before his eyes, he arrived in another world.
He looked up at the sky; the sunlight was abundant, it was precisely noon.
There was no supernatural energy in the air, just very basic planetary physical rules.
As expected, the "Chūnibyō World" was merely the lowest-tier world, with even its 'world will' still in a nascent state, possessing only survival instincts.
"A school, so it's already after the start of the school year, then." Xia Wei observed the students in the sports field, wearing gym uniforms for physical education class.
The 'Heavenly Realm Gate' had opened precisely on the school's rooftop.
"It's truly filled with the spirit of youth, but I don't miss my own school days at all."
School life in anime was completely different from his own school life.
"So, this school will be my base of operations in this world." A golden pendulum illusion appeared in Xia Wei's eyes.
In a basic, low-tier world like this, he was completely at the 'Creator God' level; using his Authority, he could directly encompass the entire world.
He didn't even need to manifest his Authority to manipulate the world's destiny; a slight nudge would suffice.
The world was too low-tier, too fragile for him now.
This fragility didn't mean he could directly destroy the world, but rather that manipulating all of its rules was incredibly easy.
If manipulating the world's destiny in the 'Visible World' required two parts of his strength, then manipulating the destiny of this world only required 0.01 parts.
Xia Wei's clothes changed into casual attire. He left the rooftop, descended the stairs, and entered the teaching building.
It was class time, and the sound of students learning was very pleasant. Passing by a classroom, he looked at the students attending class.
Class 1-4, this was the class where Rikka Takanashi and Tomioka Yuuta were. At this moment, the homeroom teacher was lecturing, Tomioka Yuuta was diligently taking notes, while Rikka Takanashi, wearing an eye patch, was fiddling with an eraser. Strange symbols were drawn on the eraser with a compass, and she was muttering something, as if chanting a spell.
"Oh~ she's quite cute, actually. She and Yulia should get along well."
Xia Wei's eyes brightened slightly. Who wouldn't like a kind, cute, imaginative Chūnibyō girl?
Xia Wei's passing was noticed by the students, and the young girls whispered softly.
"Wow~ look, there's such a handsome senior outside the classroom."
"He's not wearing a school uniform, and his clothes are so cool too."
"He looks a bit older than me, is he an upperclassman?"
"I don't know, I can't believe there's such a handsome senior at our school!"
"That senior really has a great presence, like a protagonist from a manga."
The young girls whispered, their eyes sparkling, and the young boys were also surprised, feeling a desire for 'obedient reverence' in their hearts.
"Everyone, no talking, please." The homeroom teacher, Nanase Tsukumo, said gently, and at the same time, quickly looked outside the classroom door. She was instantly amazed, her mouth agape.
Such a handsome student!
Her heart couldn't help but pound, and little pink hearts appeared in her eyes.
Are there such handsome students in this school? Why haven't I seen him before?
She only snapped back to reality after Xia Wei's back disappeared, and a sudden wave of embarrassment exploded in her heart.
What?! As a teacher, to blush and have a pounding heart over a student!
But, that student was really handsome.
If he's this handsome now, how attractive will he be when he grows up?
"So, so evil!" Rikka Takanashi pouted and said, "That senior just now was so evil!"
"Talk?" The other students all looked at Rikka Takanashi, who had made a different sound.
It had been two days since school started, and everyone knew that Wicked Lord Shingan was a 'Chūnibyō.'
"You, what are you going to say now—"
Tomioka Yuuta, who was sitting next to her, quickly shifted his seat, looking warily at Rikka Takanashi, who suddenly clutched her chest with a bewildered expression.
He had been stimulated by Wicked Lord Shingan on the first day of school; his long-sealed shameful memories were instantly reawakened by her, making him fear Wicked Lord Shingan like a tiger.
He had graduated from 'Chūnibyō' and finally made it to a new school; he absolutely had to start a new life!
Just because he shouted the shameful slogan of 'Dark Flame Master' in an empty part of the school as a farewell to his former Chūnibyō self, he was unexpectedly overheard by Wicked Lord Shingan, and their brainwaves resonated.
From the first day of school, she believed he was also a 'Chūnibyō,' and almost made him socially dead in front of his new classmates.
"Such a terrifying aura! That demon king instantly suppressed everyone, even I, the 'Evil King's True Eye user,' was severely wounded in an instant! Listen, listen!" Rikka Takanashi clutched her chest, making a wounded expression, and covered her eye-patched eye with her other hand. Her cute cheeks were slightly flushed, just like the other young girls; she had also been captivated by the senior's handsomeness.
"..." The students.
"....."
Tomioka Yuuta had goosebumps all over his body, and he swore again in his heart that he must stay far away from Wicked Lord Shingan.
However, most of the students weren't too repulsed by Rikka Takanashi's behavior, as they had experienced similar phases themselves; they just didn't want to get too close to Rikka Takanashi and be entangled in Chūnibyō.
"Alright, alright, students, let's continue with the lesson, no daydreaming." Nanase Tsukumo tapped the blackboard.
"Wicked Lord Shingan, you should also take notes seriously."
"Oh." Rikka Takanashi quickly sat up straight, blinking her eyes and looking earnestly at the blackboard.
Every time Xia Wei walked past a classroom door, it caused whispers, which made him a little helpless.
He had completely controlled his divinity, not letting even a trace leak out, but his inherent status made his aura too prominent.
Principal's office.
The bald principal had just put down the phone, his face still bearing a fawning smile. Seeing a young man walk in, he sprang up and quickly scurried to Xia Wei's front.
"You, you must be the Director-General, sir. I am the principal of this school. The board of directors has urgently informed me of your inspection of the school. I am very sorry that I was unable to greet you."
The fact that the young man in front of him wasn't much older than the students in the school wasn't something he needed to consider; he was just a high-level employee.
Perhaps the young man was the son of some parachuted big family.
"Thank you for your hard work, Principal. You don't need to worry about me; everything will proceed as usual. During my time at the school, your salary will be doubled."
