The Picture Collection and a Certain Strongest

After transmigrating into Lan Bo, the superpowered orphanage director and master chef Lan Tang transmigrates once more, this time to a world plagued by curses. In a world full of weaklings, the only thing that gives Lan Tang a headache is his troublesome best friend: the white-haired strongest sorcerer. His best friend is innocent and clueless about scheming, yet old men keep lining up to manipulate him. Lan Tang crushes the upper echelon's schemes and plants his own spies. His best friend is lively and hates being tied down, yet loves teaching. Lan Tang has his lackeys take turns teaching his classes for him. His best friend is kind and doesn't understand all the twists and turns of the world, yet throws his weight around to save sorcerers one, two, and three who have been sentenced to death. Lan Tang tears up one suspicious mission after another, giving the higher-ups another thorough purge. Years later, Lan Tang has become the man no one dares speak of in the sorcerer world. "...Honestly, I just wanted to live an ordinary life." The strongest sorcerer in Lan Tang's eyes: "He can be a tiny bit willful, but my best friend is an innocent, kind, and pure-hearted good kid!" The ones who've suffered because of him, Geto, Shoko, and the students: "Heh." The strongest sorcerer, who's always been treated like a child: "I'm clearly older than Lan Tang. Why does he always think I'm a kid?!" A-dominant Lan Tang, so commanding he leaves his partner weak in the knees, as the bottom * a weepy, white-haired, unhinged top The Lan Tang in this silly author's story is the one with only a tiny bit of screen time in the anime. As for the Lan Tang in the novel... I won't listen, I won't listen, QAQ! Theme: Even the cruelest fate can be broken
