For some reason, the students all held this teacher in great awe, as if they would be fired like cannonballs if they disobeyed, which was quite terrifying.
Caster shuddered; the suppression from her bloodline made her quickly shrink into the middle of the crowd, trying to minimize her presence.
“You’re being too noisy. This is an off-campus activity. You’re the face of Finis Academy right now.” Chen Gong looked at Mochizuki Oboro: “What were you talking about just now? So many people are crowding around to listen.”
"Teacher, it's a hometown exchange meeting!" Yang Yuhuan said with a bright smile.
"Fellow townsman?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Gong was taken aback, then glanced around.
Lanling Wang, Yang Yuhuan, Xu Fu... it really is true.
"You too, Mochizuki-kun?" Chen Gong asked, his eyes showing surprise.
After spending time participating in club activities within the Serving Department, Lanling Wang had become quite familiar with someone, and explained first:
“‘Mochizuki Oboro’ is the mother’s surname plus the father’s given name. In contrast, Mochizuki-kun also has another name.”
Mochizuki Oboro chimed in, "But I grew up in Tokyo, so I use my Japanese name more often."
"I see, I understand." Chen Gong nodded. "If you still have time to chat, you must not be tired enough. Let's add more work for you."
"What a standard Chinese teacher's language package!" Lanling Wang complained.
……
A moment later, by the lake in the city park.
"Whose loss is this?" Xu Fu asked, glancing sideways.
Yang Yuhuan recounted, "Ipsilon wanted to learn Chinese, and Wangyue Jun casually said a few words, and then you couldn't help but complain."
"When you mention Japan, you think of fireworks displays and kimonos; when you mention the United States, you think of bald eagles and hamburgers; when you mention China, you think of cheongsams and xiaolongbao (soup dumplings)—these are the stereotypes about different countries." Lanling Wang picked up some trash.
Mochizuki Oboro corrected: "To be more accurate, it is the stereotypes that other countries and regions have about a particular country."

Chapter 218 Sajō Aika: Win
No matter what activities the school arranges, as long as the execution format becomes "collective," students will always find a way to have fun.
After being driven from the city park forest to the lakeside to clean by Teacher Chen Gong, Xu Fu only behaved himself for a short while before taking out his mobile phone.
"Hehe, hehehe..."
After cleaning up his assigned area, Xu Fu put on his Bluetooth headset, hid in a blind spot of Professor Chen Gong's sight, opened the videos in his favorites, and kept making strange noises.
"Go a little further over." Mochizuki Oboro sat down next to the tree roots.
"It's so crowded." Xu Fu clicked his tongue, but still moved over to make room for Mochizuki Oboro.
The two were much faster than the others, and Mochizuki even had the energy to clean up the area that Lanling King and Yang Yuhuan were responsible for.
The old-looking tree is big enough to block out a person's shadow, and if you squeeze in, two people can even take a break together.
Xu Fu stared intently at the small screen, while a voice actor wearing glasses was performing with a look of disdain.
Even so, the applause from the audience was thunderous, making one wonder if the voice actor's fans all had some quirks.
Mochizuki Oboro repeatedly watched the practice videos that Kama had recorded for him, thinking about how to further improve his movements.
"Hehehe, Lord Yu..." Xu Fu almost drooled.
"The Great Star Festival in September..." Mochizuki Oboro counted the remaining time.
Despite their differing thoughts, by some coincidence, the two sat down together and shared this brief respite.
The sun pierced through the clouds, and the sunlight suddenly became much stronger, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
The distinct shade of the trees swayed gently in the breeze, while the incessant chirping of cicadas filled the air overhead.
Wang Yuelong turned off her phone screen, leaned her head against the tree trunk, relaxed her mind, and let her eyes lose focus.
Since the last performance, a delighted Artoria has changed her career path, focusing on becoming an actress and carrying on the mantle of the Knight King.
However, Mochizuki Oboro believes that he may not be able to do it well, so he has only agreed to take on one film so far and has no other work to do.
Witnessing sights never seen before, pondering questions never considered before, and then making choices you wouldn't normally make... living out other people's lives can be a novel experience.
“Yi Ling 3T (a) Qi Si Wu IX Si Jiu ⑧ Romeo and Juliet.” Wang Yuelong muttered to himself.
"What did you say?" Xu Fu stopped grinning after catching the key words.
"The title of the movie that hasn't been released yet," Mochizuki Oboro explained.
Xu Fu's eyes lit up: "Where did you find out? Is it from Lord Yu's fan club?"
Even a die-hard fan like her only found out about this news this morning, so what about Mochizuki Oboro?
Are you both fans of Master Yu?
“I’m one of the main actors.” Mochizuki Oboro tapped her phone lightly with her index finger: “I need to reread Mr. Shakespeare’s work when I get back.”
Xu Fu cast an understanding look at him: "Alas, I know that Lord Yu is not only dazzling but also extremely attractive, but one should know when to stop fantasizing."
To prevent some overzealous fans from acting irrationally, it is said that the male lead's identity is kept absolutely secret until the film's release, and there must be a related contract. How could it be revealed so easily?
Although it was quite unpleasant that Lord Yu was going to have to perform a romantic scene with a certain guy, Xu Fu could still tolerate it for the time being—after all, it was a crucial step for Lord Yu to move from voice actor to actor, and as a fan, he naturally had to support him as much as possible.
The male lead? Then just cut him with a chainsaw.
"The female lead is Hinako Akuta. I'm not quite sure who this Lord Yu you mentioned is." Mochizuki Oboro recalled the information that Ryougi Shiki had casually mentioned to her.
He only found out about the news this morning and hasn't had time to check who his partner is yet.
"Wow, you're really into it. I'll play along then."
Xu Fu coughed lightly, adopted the posture of a tour guide, and smiled: "Lord Yu's real name is Jie Chuzi, and her stage name is Yu Ji."
"Stage name? Should I also choose one?" Wang Yuelong pondered.
"It's up to you. Many actors use their real names too," Xu Fu said.
……
On the afternoon of the off-campus practice day.
The Shajo family.
The whisper of the wind, the particles of light.
The blinds were slightly ajar, allowing a few thin, slanting rays of sunlight to pierce through, stirring up countless tiny dust particles.
"Special Operations and Exchange Conference now begins." Sajō Aiko rested her elbows on the table, crossed her hands to support her chin, and the glasses perched on her small nose looked rather out of place.
In short, at this moment, Ms. Sajō Aika is cosplaying as Commander Ikari Gendō.
Kiyohime unfolded her fan: "The most important information today is about Lord Oboro's parents and bloodline."
“It has nothing to do with my sister Tiamat, who claims to be my guardian.” Meryl trimmed her nails.
"Do we really need to hold a war council with this kind of art style?" Typhon tried to steer the art style back on track, but obviously failed.
Sajō Aika slammed her hand on the table and stood up, her voice suddenly rising several decibels: "I don't want to be a comedian anymore! I'm going to make my move! I want to live a shameless life with the prince!"
"The moment you uttered those words, you were destined to spend the rest of your life nailed to the pillory of comedians. More specifically, you'll only ever be good for pushing butts," Lilith declared mercilessly.
Ipsilon sighed: "Did we come here just to talk about such boring things? I'd rather go back and learn some more practical skills."
"Practical? You've learned so much, are there still new skills you haven't mastered?" Typhon asked, puzzled.
Ipsilon covered his right eye with a serious expression: "We have to consider all possibilities. Otherwise, it would be too lame to find that you can't say a word when you need it."
"I think sincerity is more important," Kiyohime said dismissively.
"Stop, stop, stop, we're not here to discuss this." Mary Alter placed her index finger on the palm of her other hand, making the classic stop gesture.
When everyone heard that there was new information from Mochizuki Oboro's side that morning, the shock was no less than that of an elementary school student who, upon discovering Aizen's true strength, was playing a Shinigami vs. Naruto match with his comrades.
The all-knowing and all-powerful Ms. Sajō Aika is ready to immediately adjust her attack direction, while the other covetous individuals who haven't yet learned Chinese can only swallow their unripe fruit and endure for the time being.
It might not have much impact on daily interactions, but it can bring some surprises to Mochizuki Oboro.
In order to gain the upper hand, we must take advantage of every opportunity.
The next main quest: Find out the prince's other name.
Since "Wangyuelong" is the mother's surname plus the father's given name, then by the same logic, the other name should be the father's surname plus the mother's given name.
Suddenly, a scene from their first meeting flashed through Aika Sajou's mind.
What's your name? Where do you live? Do you have a girlfriend? What type of woman do you like?
If you must address someone by that name, please use "Star".
Star...?
"Hey, why are you laughing?"
"Really?" Ayaka Sajou tilted her head to one side.
Look at their troubled and thoughtful expressions; how delightful! And I have already grasped a crucial clue.
That's right, Ms. Sajō Aika is now invincible!

Chapter 219 Medusa's Test of Endurance
Mochizuki Oboro was unaware of the turmoil she had caused.
Since the majority of participants were Servants, the city park was quickly cleaned up, and the entire afternoon was free time.
Whether you choose to join Dr. Roman's silly adventure team or head back home, you're welcome to join. If you choose the former, there's also a complimentary homemade hot soup, the quality of which is not guaranteed.
The summer heat is so intense that it makes you want to do nothing. Modern metropolises exude the sweltering heat of summer, the concrete in the distance seems distorted, and everything appears listless.
Inside the Gorgon sisters' villa.
The air conditioner, humming loudly, displayed the number '20℃'. The highest fan speed brought a refreshing coolness that filled the entire room, and the dry, cool air evoked unique memories of early summer.
"Almost there." Gamo, who was lounging on the sofa, said, "You're learning pretty fast. You've mastered the basic movements and vocal techniques in less than a month."
Even without having taught other students, Kama could sense Mochizuki Oboro's exceptional talent in singing and dancing. However, she wouldn't know that this person had practiced for a long time as a child because of her appreciation for 'beauty,' and already had a certain foundation.
"The Great Star Festival is in September, so what should we do next?" Mochizuki Oboro straightened her clothes, which were a little messy from practicing.
Gamo immediately said: "We will focus on leveraging our advanced advantages, concentrating on professionally competitive tracks, establishing industry advantages, grasping the demands of the audience, and providing cultural industry support services faster, better, and more effectively."
Mochizuki Oboro's translation: "Strengthen my strengths and use them as a selling point."
He can still understand these kinds of platitudes.
Kama further stated, "Your specialty lies in 'charm.' Although it's unclear why you possess this unusual attraction to Servants, you should make good use of it since you have it, after all, even normal viewers might fall for it."
What he was reluctant to admit was that Kama felt he was already somewhat affected, though not very obviously.
If it weren't for her own power of love and desire to resist, she would probably have already fallen for him like some shameful Servants.
"It doesn't feel much different from being a gigolo," Mochizuki Oboro commented.
“A male prostitute has to sell himself, but you don’t…” Kama suddenly revealed a playful smile: “No, there are times when you have to be subjected to unspoken rules.”
"Who is it? Teacher?"
"It's hard to say. Your biggest backer is Ryougi Shiki, and your manager is Ms. Tsuru." Kama clapped her hands gently, encouraging her, "Please keep striving to carve out your own future in the dark world of entertainment!"
……
Your practice plan has been adjusted: focus on amplifying your charm.
[Kama, who was supposed to be the teacher, went off to slack off after finishing the planning, leaving his partner Medusa to correct your movements in the practice room.]
[Kama has assigned you the task of "conquering" Medusa with song and dance. However, the specific scoring criteria are vague, and you'll have to figure it out yourself.]
"Hello."
"Don't be so restrained."
"I have a question."
"Please say."
