The only good news recently is that Yuji Itadori is back from the dead.

Hinata Aoi submitted the first answer about the reform, which was implemented in the Gojo family for a week. While receiving feedback, she also received a letter from the former head of the Gojo family.

"I don't have the hobby of opening other people's letters, and I don't know what the old man wrote in them." Gojo Satoru issued a disclaimer first.

"The new regulations are working really well. Every time I go back to my house in Gojo, the air feels a lot fresher. Maybe it's a thank you letter~"

As he spoke, he moved closer to Hinata Aoi, his head almost touching the girl's, trying to "steal" read the letter at a glance.

Hinata Aoi stopped opening the letter and tried to push Gojo Satoru's head to the other side. When she found that she couldn't push it away, she moved away by rubbing the chair against it.

"So stingy~"

"Let me read it first." Ignoring Gojo Satoru's coquettish behavior, Hinata Aoi slowly took out the letter, feeling a little uneasy.

The person who wrote the letter was the patriarch of a feudal family, Gojo Satoru's father, and also her elder, so she cared a lot about his opinion.

She changed and retreated again and again on the measures and goals of this reform. Even when Gojo Satoru cried out that it was too conservative, she insisted on her own ideas and reduced the intensity of its implementation.

Instead of taking drastic measures, she chose a subtle approach after careful consideration, because the Gojo family is not only her experimental field, but also the family that Gojo Satoru belongs to. Gojo Satoru trusts her, and others trust Gojo Satoru. She cannot let Gojo Satoru lose his reputation in the family because of her mess.

Of course, everyone in the Gojo family admires Gojo Satoru's strength, or rather, they admire the "Six Eyes", and any resentment they have will only be blamed on her.

However, this kind of jungle law-style worship also needs to be broken, so we can't rush it, and we have to make the people of the Gojo family really feel that they benefit from it.

...There is also a reason of bias. If it were the Zenin family, considering what happened to Maki, it would be difficult for her not to use some drastic measures.

What on earth was the former head of the family going to say to her? He couldn't possibly write a thank you letter like Gojo Satoru had suggested, could he? Was he just thankful she wasn't too radical?

Unable to see the contents, Gojo Satoru sat astride the chair, his arms folded on the top of the backrest, rocking back and forth boredly.

"Haven't you finished yet?"

The girl's face became increasingly worse and her eyes became increasingly gloomy, as if they could poke a hole in the thin piece of letter paper.

Gojo Satoru was sweating in his heart:

"...What did the old man write? He is a bit old-fashioned, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a hurry to snatch the position of the head of the family." I am different from him. I have secretly cursed the old man in my heart, but he can't curse me anymore!

Hinata Aoi didn't want to vent her anger on him.

He folded the letter exactly as it was and stuffed it back into the envelope, still with no intention of showing it to Gojo Satoru. He just said calmly while slowly sorting it out, "You're right, I'm still conservative."

"Ah..." Isn't this the end?

Gojo Satoru laughed awkwardly and could probably guess the content of the letter.

It is nothing more than using a kind brushstroke and an elder's tone, seemingly caring about the younger generation, but in fact, using experience and status to pressure others, giving earnest advice, and pointing out the "wrong way".

After all these years, this was the first time that Gojo Satoru experienced the feeling of his parents embarrassing him in public.

"...Has Xiao Kui come up with a new idea?" Based on his understanding and observation, Hinata Aoi probably wasn't particularly angry or upset. The old man's earnest words might have accidentally unlocked the barrier that held the girl back.

Just as Gojo Satoru thought, Hinata Aoi even felt that her thoughts were clearer after being "educated".

She was not discouraged by the overt and covert denials. Instead, she instantly realized one thing - everyone in the Gojo family is a vested interest.

When thinking about it before, Hinata Aoi always compared a family to a country, defining the exploiters and the exploited within a big framework... But in fact, this family itself belongs to the aristocratic class and is an exploiter. It's just that while enjoying the benefits, they are also exploited by people of a higher level.

Life in the Gojo family can be said to be comfortable. Under Gojo Satoru's influence, the intensity of feudal exploitation has been greatly reduced, and the benefits are even more attractive. Compared with ordinary people, and even the other two families of the Gosan, they feel superior.

Therefore, the focus of reforming the Gojo family is not on the redistribution of resources, but on the forced liberation of thought.

Not everyone wants to be liberated, not even the oppressed. We should use tougher measures, shattering their ideas according to their own thinking patterns, using the powerful to set the rules and force everyone else to adapt to the new era.

It's because the methods she displayed were too soft that people dared to criticize her!

From now on, there is no need to reform the Gojo family into something trendy. It is enough to change it into the way Gojo Satoru likes.

Who would have thought that the current head of this feudal family would be a leader of open-mindedness.

"I have an idea. Don't mention my name again. 'Hinata Aoi' officially withdraws from the reform plan."

"ah?"

"Everything from now on will be done in your name. Just say that you can't stand my weakness and plan to do it yourself." What's important is not the process, not the reputation, but the result.

"Haha!" Gojo Satoru immediately got it: "You finally know how to use me, Xiaokui~"

Changing something does not just mean going against it. The quickest way is to defeat it with its logic, letting its left and right brains fight each other, leading to either destruction or rebirth.

"That's it for the Gojo family for now." Hinata Aoi casually put the envelope into the book and took out her newly prepared plan:

"I heard they're arresting traitors, and one of them is in high-ranking positions?"

"Yeah~" Gojo Satoru took the plan from Hinata Aoi and after reading a few lines, the smile on his face widened unconsciously:

"...Xiao Kui, you are really becoming more and more adapted to the world of spells~"

"I don't really want to adapt." Hinata Aoi's face showed a hint of resentment.

"No matter what the regulations are, what the execution method is, what the means are used to hide him, or if he is charged with another crime, this person's position must be vacated."

"Then arrange for someone else to replace him~" Gojo Satoru's eyes were full of admiration.

"Yes, but they can't be from the Gojo family."

Rubbing his brows, Hinata Aoi stayed up late to make plans after hearing the news, which disrupted her biological clock. Now her eyes were a little blurry.

"The top leadership is composed of representatives from each of the three great families. There's no branch family that wouldn't want to be the head family, right?"

Honor, status, wealth, offspring... there is always something they care about.

"Under coercion and inducement, there will always be a brave man. If the Gojo family gives a little help, he will go to the main family to show his loyalty. It is better than leaving this position vacant to the Gojo family."

Gojo Satoru read the plan over and over again, then asked knowingly, "Is it that simple?"

"It's not simple at all." Hinata Aoi took out a pen and paper and added a few points:

"We must first understand those branches before we can take action. We can't just target one. If we make a feint to the east and attack in the west, the suspicious family head will naturally find another one of our chess pieces."

Gojo Satoru asked again, "Aren't you worried that they'll break the contract?"

"How could it be possible to break the contract?" Hinata Aoi was almost speechless.

"...The world of curses has constraints that can be used to control it, which is much more effective than swearing an oath to the heavens."

Perhaps no one knows better than her how useful bondage is...

Gojo Satoru certainly understood, but seeing Hinata Aoi's domineering aura, he couldn't help but want to tease her.

"The most important point." Hinata Aoi said seriously: "You can't negotiate."

"Me?" Gojo Satoru pointed at himself and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm the strongest, how can you exclude me first?!"

It's easy to figure it out with just a little thought. Hinata Aoi had no way of dealing with Gojo Satoru's childish temper, so she could only continue:

"...You're too threatening. Even if the deal is easy to negotiate, you'll easily provoke the other party and cause the negotiation to fall apart."

Gojo Satoru: "..."

There's no denying that he's really good at stirring up hatred.

"Who's going then?"

"Let the reliable former head of the Gojo family worry about it." Hinata Aoi tugged at the exposed edge of the envelope to signal.

"I'll write back. I can't refuse to cause trouble for someone else's family, right?"

Gojo Satoru pouted. "Am I unreliable? What do we get out of all this trouble?"

"Get a start." Hinata Aoi leaned back in her chair and yawned.

"If you pry one, you can pry countless."

"The Gojo family occupies more seats at the top, but the three great families all have veto power. Creating internal divisions among them is the most peaceful way to change the top leadership."

"This will not affect the normal work of the people at the lower levels."

As long as the system remains unchanged, the organizational structure is not dismantled, and Tianyuan's barrier remains, it will not affect the hard work of the real lower-level sorcerers.

"Hmmmm~" Gojo Satoru nodded repeatedly. Although he hadn't actually put these into practice yet, just hearing the plan made him feel that the future was full of light.

Isn’t this faster than him teaching and educating generation after generation?

He really wanted to hug Hinata Aoi and give her a good kiss, but his limited rationality told him that the child was grown up and it was not time to be so intimate, so he managed to hold back.

The treasure you nearly destroyed is now shining in my hand, Jack...

October 31, 2018

In the huge campus, Hinata Aoi was the only one left in the dormitory. She sent messages to her friends one by one to ask about their whereabouts. She felt relieved when she saw that none of them were in Shibuya.

She looked at the small button on the table. It was said that if she pressed it in case of an unexpected situation, Ieiri Nozomi would immediately sense it and come back to save her.

Curse power was useless to her, and playing hide-and-seek in a school this large would take a long time, waiting for reinforcements. With her experience in parkour and medicine, she could also determine the most advantageous way to injure herself. Staying in a school protected by the Tengen barrier was always safer than going to the front lines.

Hinata Aoi planned to wait for others to come back in the dormitory. She sent messages to Glass from time to time to confirm their status, but she saw the black cat who had been following her walked to the dormitory door, and the tightly closed door inexplicably opened a crack.

It looked back at Hinata Aoi, its golden eyes flashing with a seductive light, and Hinata Aoi walked towards the door as if bewitched...
