The Other Ayanokoji

Chapter 114

Reiji shook me awake in the morning.

I quickly put my glasses on and looked in her direction. 

"What is it?"

Reiji blushed heavily as if she was trying to seduce me or something. "Can you help me with quantum physics? I need your help." 

"Sure. How about we meet up after school?" 

Reiji blushed and gave me a perfect, girl-like smile. "Sounds great. Thank you, boss."

I watch Reiji eagerly jump away. 

Ah. 

I look at my hand and see a sheet of paper in it. 

I want Kage-san to give me a private lesson about my nullification as well. Thanks  :) PS. Someone is listening in on our conversation. I removed the listening devices, but there still might be some left. Check later, please.

Reiji and I were sitting in the library, studying quantum physics. I was tutoring Reiji.

"So, Reiji," I said. "What do you know about quantum entanglement?"

"Not much," she said. "I know it's when two particles are linked together in such a way that they share the same fate, even if they're separated by a large distance."

"That's right," I said. "And it's one of the most important concepts in quantum physics."

"But why?" Reiji asked. "What makes it so important?"

"Because it shows that the universe is more interconnected than we ever thought possible," I said. "It shows that everything is linked together, even if we can't see it."

Reiji nodded. "That's pretty cool," she said. "But what does it have to do with your powers?"

"Everything," I said. "A part of my powers is connecting with the minds of others. And quantum entanglement is all about connecting with the universe in a way that we don't understand."

"So, you're saying that part of your power is based on quantum entanglement?" Reiji asked.

"That's what I believe," I said. "But it's just a theory. There's no scientific evidence to it."

"But it's a good theory," Reiji said. "It makes sense."

"I suppose it does indeed."

I stood up. "We should go somewhere else to finish the next part."

Reiji jumped up eagerly. "Field trip!"

People around us stared but looked back when they realized it was the white-haired demon.

I sighed. "Let's go."

"Now, let's get started."

I took her to my space when people stopped looking. 

Kage was unable to attend as I had specifically requested his absence, which led me to take charge of Reiji's requested training session.

"Thanks for helping me, Ryo," Reiji said. "I really appreciate it."

"You're welcome," Ryo said.

Reiji and Ryo sat down on the ground to rest.

"So, Ryo," Reiji said. "How did you figure out how to nullify my nullification?"

"It took me a long time," I said. "But I eventually figured it out using quantum physics."

"Quantum physics?" Reiji asked. "How could quantum physics help you with that?"

"Well, quantum physics is all about the interconnectedness of the universe. It shows that everything is linked together, even if we can't see it."

"So?" Reiji asked.

"So," I said. "I realized that your nullification ability is also interconnected with everything else in the universe. And that means that there must be a way to nullify it."

"But how?" Reiji asked.

"That's where quantum physics comes in," I said. "Quantum physics shows us that there are many different possibilities for everything. And that means that there must be a possibility where your nullification ability is nullified."

Reiji nodded. "I think I understand," she said.

"Good," I said. "Let's continue."

Reiji looked a little bit more determined after I told her my secret as she trained even harder than before.

Hana approached Renji, her eyes filled with determination.

"Renji," she said. "I want you to train me in martial arts."

Renji raised an eyebrow. "Why?" he asked.

"I want to beat Ryo," Hana said.

Renji sighed. "That's a lost cause," he said. "Ryo is the most powerful psychic in the world. There's no way you could beat her."

"But I have to try," Hana said. "Ryo is always putting me down. She thinks she's better than me just because she's stronger. But I want to prove her wrong."

Renji shook his head. "I'm not going to help you," he said. "It's a waste of time."

"But why not?" Hana asked.

Renji shrugged. "I'm a lazy person," he said. "I don't like to put in effort for things I don't care about."

Hana was furious. She raised her fist to attempt to punch Renji.

But before her fist could connect, a hand reached out and stopped it.

Hana looked up and saw me standing there.

"It's not nice to hit people," I said in a monotone voice.

Hana glared at me. "You're the one who started it," she said. "You're always putting me down."

I let out a dramatic sigh. "I'm just trying to be realistic," I said. "You're not strong enough to beat me."

"I am!" Hana shouted. "Just you wait! I'm going to train hard and become stronger than you. And then I'm going to kick your ass!"

"I can't wait," I remarked nonchalantly. 

Hana turned and started to walk away. 

"I will keep going, even if it takes an eternity!"

 I observed her departure, my face filled with contemplation.

 "She's adorable," I whispered to myself. 

Renji glanced at me. "You find her cute?"

 I shrugged. "It's endearing how desperately she wants to surpass me." 

With that, I vanished into thin air, leaving Renji all by himself.
