Chapter 273: Grandpa, Chika Loves You the Most~

"Grandpa, the reason I say this is also because of a question Classmate Ren Amamiya raised: human nature."

The old man's eyes lit up. Did he trigger a discussion on human nature through power?

"Those who have gained power must pay the most attention to human nature."

"The drug dealers on Moon Shadow Island have trampled human nature underfoot. They are drug dealers and addicts; in their hearts, there is only drugs. They have already lost their humanity, which is why they can do those utterly inhumane things."

"Classmate Ren Amamiya asked Kaguya: after gaining power, do you think of using that power to solve problems?"

"And Kaguya's answer was yes."

The old man nodded slightly.

For any canary bound in a cage, once it gains the power to overturn the entire cage, or even everyone, it is normal to have such thoughts.

Kaguya Sigong has always been bound inside a cage, just like a canary.

But ultimately, Kaguya Sigong is not a canary; she is a complete human being, and naturally, she has had thoughts of mastering her own destiny.

Given the chance, who would not want to overturn the whole table?

Not doing so is simply because one's personal ability has not yet reached the point of being able to overturn the table.

Kaguya Sigong clearly already possesses the ability to overturn the table.

"However, just like human nature, once the bottom line is crossed, the next time it will be at an even lower position."

The old man nodded slightly again. The person who could speak these words must have seen the lowest points of human nature and the bottom line.

This is indeed a very necessary lesson, especially for someone who has just gained the power to overturn the table.

It is just that this lesson's interpretation of human nature is far too low.

Drug dealers are a group with almost no humanity or bottom line; having a group of sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girls witness that bloody violence is indeed a bit too much.

The old man could understand why that boy did not want Sun Nu and the others to see it.

Perhaps that boy only hoped for Sun Nu and the others to gradually understand how human nature and the bottom line are crossed, rather than seeing the very bottom directly all at once.

Those scenes at the very bottom are often the most bloody and the most cruel.

"Sun Nu, what you saw this time was too low."

"Hehe~ Grandpa's words sound very much like Classmate Ren Amamiya's."

"But we have still decided this way."

From the very beginning, Fujiwara Chika knew how high the difficulty of this time was, yet they still did not retreat in this regard at all.

"This is not what we hope for, but it is also very important to us."

"Because in the future, we may encounter many such things."

The old man's eyelid twitched, but he quickly returned to normal.

This might be the process by which ordinary people begin to transform toward the mysterious.

Ordinary people may not have much contact with such things, but those possessing the mysterious are completely different from ordinary people.

The gap between the two is even greater than the gap between the rich and beggars.

Ordinary people and those possessing special power are simply a gap between dimensions.

"So, he taught you how to grasp the bottom line and human nature?"

"Told you to practice self-restraint?"

"Mm."

The old man nodded slightly; this is indeed a rather gentle method of teaching.

Starting from the perspective of human nature and the bottom line, bringing out the utterly inhumane sexual approach of the drug dealers for comparison.

Although this approach is a bit too much, it can indeed put some shackles on girls who suddenly gain power.

"It is not just about practicing self-restraint."

"Classmate Ren Amamiya also said that self-restraint is not about making oneself suffer grievances."

Hm?

Hearing Sun Nu say this, the old man suddenly felt a bad sensation arise.

"When facing provocation, power is what allows you to strike back."

"The self-restraint needed to maintain human nature is not about continuing to endure when facing grievances."

"If it were like that, power would just be a shackle."

"Self-restraint is not about putting shackles on your head; it is about striking back!"

"And Classmate Ren Amamiya also said that if you suffer a grievance and do not retaliate, it will make your thoughts blocked; this kind of emotion more easily creates psychological pressure."

"So when encountering that situation, power is the means to allow one to continue maintaining human nature."

... Good lord, what a special understanding.

After the old man was stunned for a moment, he felt as if he had heard this reasoning somewhere before; it was just that for a moment his mind was a bit blank, and he couldn't quite recall where this reasoning came from.

But thinking it over carefully, saying it this way really does make a lot of sense.

If grievances are hidden in the heart, won't that cause something to burst out?

Isn't power precisely the means to retaliate when one feels aggrieved?

But thinking this way, the old man understood: these ones, in the future, will probably cause major chaos.

If even one person, not knowing this, goes and bullies these children, the retaliation waiting for them might not even wait until the next day.
