"There's only one way to change this impatient mindset in Academy City."
"Bring the technology down to the lower levels faster. Only by letting the people in Academy City learn how to use new technology faster will the researchers recognize the strength of the students."
"Any other method is just a temporary solution. Only by popularizing those special things can we truly establish a stable foundation for Academy City."
Noldrei's words gave Manabu Horikita new ideas.
He admitted that what Noldrei said was indeed correct, but this kind of correctness needed enough cost to maintain.
All ideals in this world required material consumption. This was the eternal law of materialism.
"I understand what you're saying, but how can I get the power to bring that technology to the lower levels? Forcing it will only backfire. We have to make people like these things themselves. Like those gender changes, skin color changes. The chaos caused by promoting those things, the promoters will also be responsible for those."
What Horikita had said was also the key to the problem. He didn't want to die before he even began his task.
"People will bear some responsibility for the things that they want."
After Noldrei finished speaking, he turned his attention back to the fight. While he was talking, the high school girl had already been knocked to the ground by the teacher.
There was no legendary comeback. She seemed to have been hesitating until the very end.
"Sigh, I thought that I would be able to see an exciting duel…"
Noldrei was a bit disappointed.
"She doesn't have to worry about being beaten to death, nor does she have to worry about not being cured, so what is there to hesitate about? Just go all out. All they're competing about is how much they can use their bodies."
Seeing Noldrei's unconcerned attitude, Manabu Horikita actually defended the girl.
"She might not have much of an antagonistic mindset. For normal people, that level of fighting is usually between life and death enemies. It's hard to continue to fight if you don't have an antagonistic mindset. Most competitions are more about testing each other's skills."
Manabu Horikita thought that the girl didn't treat the Kengan Arena as a real battle platform to resolve conflicts, but as a competitive platform that was similar to a normal sports field to show off her own abilities.
'Arena' was just the name. Its essence was just a rough place to settle human disputes through violence.
'Maybe I will have to show up here someday.'
Manabu Horikita had realized the barbaric nature of this place.
Then, what kind of identity did this person who was sitting high up in the stands, scouting for newcomers in the arena, have? And what about his Teacher Otto?
Manabu Horikita currently didn't have any proof, and he needed to understand the more in-depth information here.
'It seems that I still can't leave that Li Shunsheng yet.'
At this moment, Noldrei suddenly received a call from Dr. Tesla.
He answered and heard Tesla's unique and distinguishable voice.
"Where are you?! Get back here and look at what you've done?! Do you know how much trouble you've caused me?!"
Dr. Tesla was now at home, and she wished that she could tear Noldrei's tendons and skin off, but unfortunately, Noldrei didn't have any tendons or skin.
"Tesla..."
He had a hint of disgust on his face. After realizing that he had been treated as some kind of weird machine by Tesla, he was never very keen on communicating with her.
But unfortunately, Tesla had no intention of letting him off.
"I'll be heading back first. You can just think about the rest on your own. If you encounter any troubles that you need to deal with… go to Raiden Ryoma, and tell him that I told him to help you."
"Tesla, shut your foul mouth. What kind of person curses all the time? Even men of this era no longer do this."
Noldrei's reprimand was useless.
"I'm already in my eighties, what does it have to do with this era? I'm a woman of the previous era!"
Soon, only Manabu Horikita was left in the luxurious viewing hall.
He glanced at the teacher and student who were being carried off the arena and was still thinking about Raiden Ryoma.
'He even used the word 'told?' So this person's status is even higher than I thought.'
The establishment of Academy City was still a legend for many people with no background. That was because they had directly carved out a place from Japan's territory, and the power of Academy City's board of directors was astonishing.
And the person who could give an order to Director Raiden Ryoma…
"It seems that the board of directors aren't completely letting things be."
Manabu Horikita was quite relieved. At least he knew that this thing called the Holy Mother Church wouldn't cause too much of a problem.
When Noldrei returned home, he saw a scene of intense confrontation.
Everyone was staring angrily at each other, as if the other had done something unforgivable.
"Idiot Kiana, what did you do? Why did my people report your people for establishing an evil follower church?"
Bronya fired the first shot, directly shocking Kiana.
Kiana also had her own reasons, and she retorted, "I just saw that this place was too chaotic, especially those people from the research institutes. They developed so many things and tried to force them onto people, not even giving them a chance to adapt. So I sent people to slow things down a little bit."
Dr. Tesla slammed the table angrily, and she shouted in dissatisfaction, "That's my territory! Why are you interfering? What does someone who's only studied for two months know anything? If I don't promote things, then how will I get more people to participate in the living Stigmata experiments? If I don't promote things, how will I get more people to join the fight? How am I supposed to make money? Are you paying for my experiments? Does Anti-Entropy even have that much money to spend?!"
"Dr. Tesla, do you know how much damage your products have caused? Stop adding unnecessary work for Bronya. Someone directly used a new biological structure to grow drugs in a flowerpot, did you know that?! Look at what you have created?!"
Bronya immediately turned around and fired back at Tesla.
Raiden Mei looked around at everyone who was angry. She was worried about whether her father had been involved in these incidents.
"Huh? Is that even what I wanted to do? I can't just stop people from buying my products, right? Can't you guys manage things better yourselves? Was the Identity ID created by me for no reason?"
Tesla was feeling aggrieved. What had she done wrong? She had just honestly followed Noldrei's instructions and had tried her best to quickly develop bio-technology, then industrialized those things.
Bronya immediately said mockingly, "Then why doesn't Dr. Tesla first research an antidote?"
Kiana was surprised and said, "That's a bit much? Weren't we going to expand the living Stigmata? We should focus on what I'm doing first. It's obviously more important to fight the Honkai."
Kiana wanted to eat even more genetic information in the Stigmata space.
Bronya and Tesla glanced at her and turned their heads away to ignore her. Their task was to create a new system for living Stigmata, but this bastard imperial princess was rushing them.
They were both angry at how this guy had secretly suppressed the research speed and at the same time, increased the difficulty of public security.
They hated Kiana intensely.
'Noldrei arranged your subordinates for you, and you actually used them against your own people?'
And when Noldrei got back, he saw Cocolia laughing gleefully at the door.
After seeing him return, Cocolia immediately stopped smiling and showed him her loyalty.
She was different from the idiots in the room who didn't understand the leader's thinking. Cocolia was an honest little pony.
