Chapter 39

Of course, it would be extremely difficult for Gojo Satoru to become the beloved head of the General Manager's Department right now.

After all, his reform ideas are basically about overturning the vested interests of these old fogies. Even if he gets to that position, it's hard to say that he will definitely succeed.

Being stripped of power is bad enough; the real fear is that some people, for their own benefit, might use Gojo Satoru's orders to do things behind the scenes that will ruin their reputation even more.

Besides, there's the existence of that mastermind—do you think that person would completely disappear after killing the former chief? Impossible.

These high-ranking officials clearly knew of such a person's existence, but since no one knew who that person was, they simply pushed Gojo Satoru forward to confront him.

Kazuma Hatake did not object to the agreement.

He knew that Wu's situation was far different from his own, and that the backlash under violent pressure would be more intense, which would also be detrimental to what he needed to do later.

Players can just kill and kill and that's it, but the brilliant Da Wu still has his ideals to fulfill.

Anyway, he'll find out who the villainous BOSS is in the story sooner or later and take him down. Then he'll have Wu carry his head to the director's office, which will both intimidate those old men and make Wu's becoming the head of the department more justifiable.

Currently, it seems that Kazuma Hato has forcefully reserved a spot for Satoru Gojo to prevent those old men from getting there first.

After all, during the meeting, Kazuma Hatake's unspoken meaning was quite clear.

He would eliminate anyone they dared to nominate; he didn't approve of anyone except Gojo Satoru.

It's true that comparisons bring happiness. These high-ranking officials, now having their lives threatened with guns to their heads by Kazuma Hatori time and again, suddenly realize that Satoru Gojo is truly a law-abiding moderate...

Could we ask him to come and put this living devil in check...?

Wu Tiao Wucai didn't care.

Gojo Satoru had one hand on Hato Kazuma's shoulder, with most of his weight on the latter, and he was practically dying of laughter.

"Come on, Principal Moth, come and meet me, the future First Lord! You're even allowed to ask me for an autograph now—"

Regardless of whether he can actually become the head of the department, he just wants to show off in front of Principal Moth right now!

This position was fought for him by Kazuma Hodori, who is a super, super supporter of him!

Moth said: "…………"

The steel needle that Nocturnal Elephant was holding to tie felt was bent into a U-shape on the spot.

Originally, they were just invited to attend a faculty and staff meeting before the start of the semester, but instead, they were hit with a shocking piece of news.

Masamichi Yagami had no doubt that the Kamo family head before him was an even more insane... insane... uh, pursuer than Gojo Satoru?

The thought that this seemingly mature, composed, and calm black-haired youth, whether he became the head of the Kamo family, a college teacher, or joined the Director's Office, ultimately aimed to marry Gojo Satoru, made his heart clench.

He certainly didn't think his students had any truly intolerable personality flaws, and it was only natural that some people would like them, but...

Well, judging from how close Wu is to the black-haired youth these days, he wouldn't be too surprised if the two of them actually sent him an invitation someday...

Over the years, it has been rare to find someone who could be so close to Wu and strongly support his ideals. Ye'e Zhengdao was relieved.

This "strong support" is really going too far.

In just about three months, Wu Ding was promoted to the head of the General Management Department...

Night Moth felt that his heart needed to catch its breath.

"Now that you have passed the Level 2 assessment and both you and Fushiguro Megumi are safe and sound, let's officially begin the teaching."

Moth adjusted his sunglasses to make sure it was still intact.

“I also contacted the other first-year student again. She said she still has some things to take care of at home and can only come around June.”

"As for the third-year students, well, they are currently suspended from school due to disciplinary action..."

"Oh dear, speaking of which,"

Gojo Satoru suddenly remembered, "Bystander's suspension was because he assaulted a member of the conservative faction, right? We could easily propose to have it revoked now."

He has extremely high hopes for Libra's future!

“You’re right, we can give it a try.”

After a moment of silence, Masamichi Nobi realized that things he had previously thought impossible had become feasible with the existence of Kazuma Hatori.

"Suspension from school?" Yuqu Kazuma asked Gojo Satoru.

“They are two third-year students, Kinji and Kirara,” Gojo Satoru said with a smile.

"A major attack occurred at the end of last year. When they went to Kyoto to provide support, they clashed with the conservatives. Sakae beat them up, and as a result, he was suspended from school by the higher-ups."

"Oh, then it can be cancelled completely."

Upon hearing that he had been suspended from school for beating up a conservative, Kazuma Hatori immediately said it was no problem.

Since it was just beating up someone who opposed Wu, is that a big deal? It's just a beating, he didn't die.

Players can be very hypocritical!

Moth said: "…………"

Sure enough, this kid is really devoted to Wu... He's never seen him so protective of his own before.

I had heard before that his method of getting into the director's department was extremely despicable, but no one from the higher-ups had revealed exactly what he did... Now it seems that it was definitely not just a matter of beating up a few people.

In response, Kazuma Hatori remained calm and composed, showing no sign of guilt.

He's here to play the game, not to be a referee. Are we supposed to judge him with rules and laws? Ha, anyone who dares to judge him is asking for trouble.

"Let's discuss this later. They disappeared after being suspended from school. I'll try to find them first."

Night Moth Masakazu pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling exhausted. "Let's focus on the education of the current students first."

"Is the sorcery a three-year program?"

After listening for a while, Kazuma Hatori discovered that apart from the two third-year students, Kinji and Kirara Hoshi, who had been suspended, there were only second-year and first-year students left to teach—only five people in total.

To be precise, it was four people plus a panda.

This school covers such a vast area, yet there are far too few students? Since it's just background scenery, the game only modeled the location but didn't bother designing the characters in detail?

While Principal Yagami was astonished that Kazuma Hatori didn't even understand the basic student registration system of a vocational high school, Satoru Gojo, who was already used to it, began to explain it to him.

"No, it's currently a four-year program."

Gojo Satoru held up four fingers and shook them adorably in front of Hagoromo Kazuma, completely drawing his attention.

"It used to be a five-year program consisting of three years of high school and two years of university, but later we found that most of the content that needed to be taught could be covered in the first three years, and the last two years seemed to be perfectly fine without teachers."

Seeing the beautiful Daigo's four fingers naturally transform into a "Super OK!" gesture, Kazuma Hatori silently suppressed the urge to reach out and grab him.

"The fourth year is for accumulating internship and task experience,"

Gojo Satoru seemed oblivious to Hagoromo Kazuma's thoughts and continued to explain to him with great interest.

"The fifth year, as is customary, is a year that students can spend freely. Even if they realize after reflecting on their lives that they don't want to be sorcerers, the school will not stop them."

"Later, everyone felt that there was no need to keep the fifth year, so the sorcery college became a four-year program. However, before officially starting their jobs, graduating sorcerers still have a year of free time."

"In fact, many graduates from previous years either died during exorcisms or changed careers for various reasons. Take Nanami Kento, whom you met in Yamagata Prefecture, for example. He was one of those who switched to being a company employee before returning to be a sorcerer."

"And those sorcerers from the three founding families don't attend higher vocational colleges unless absolutely necessary...right?"

Kazuma Hatori tried to focus his attention on what Satoru Gojo was telling him, rather than on the fingers that kept making cute gestures in front of him.

"You're very smart, Kamo! You have a lot of potential!" Gojo Satoru immediately chimed in with praise.

"Not at all, it's all thanks to Gojo-sensei's excellent teaching," Hato Kazuma said modestly.

"Haha, really? I also think I'm a super great teacher!"

Between teasing and joking, Gojou Gosho happily patted Hato Kazuma on the shoulder, silencing Yogami Seimichi, who had been watching their interaction the whole time.

Are these two really 28 and 27? Aren't they a little too compatible?

Sigh... never mind.

"In addition, there's the second-year teacher, Atsuya Kusakabe,"

Before the semester has even officially started, Masamichi Nocturnum is already feeling twice as exhausted.

"But he's currently on a mission, so I can only tell you about him when he gets back."

"oh."

Kazuma Hato didn't care about anything other than the beautiful Daigo. He nodded casually and responded, considering it a perfunctory response.

Moth said: "…………"

The difference in reaction is quite obvious.

That's about it. The General Affairs Department is in complete chaos. It has gone from being an unbreakable united group to being divided into factions and preoccupied with its own problems. It has no time to interfere with the affairs of Tokyo High School, which has actually reduced the pressure on Masamichi Yagami.

In this respect, he also has to thank Kazuma Hatake—although the latter brought him a stomachache in a different sense.

Thus, the pre-semester faculty and staff meeting came to an end.

"Is everything alright now? Are we going on a mission?"

The sun shone brightly outside the hall as Hato Kazuma and Gojo Satoru walked side by side along the tree-lined path.

"Hmm—no missions yet. Maybe it's not May yet, when curses are most prevalent?"

Gojo Satoru stretched leisurely, loosened his shoulders, and even his voice became lazy.

"The investigation is still ongoing... Suddenly I have some free time again, and I can even watch the old guys make a fool of themselves. Hehe, I'm in a good mood."

"Do you want to go home?" Kazuma Hatake asked.

Originally, according to Gojo Satoru, it was just a "stay for a few days". However, even though they had returned to Kyoto and openly announced that Hatori Kazuma was still alive, the two of them tacitly pretended to have forgotten about it and neither of them mentioned letting Hatori Kazuma move back to the high school dormitory.

Therefore, Kazuma Hatori continues to live in Satoru Gojo's apartment.

"It's a bit early to go back. Let's go fishing!" Wu Tiao Wu's face fell as he mentioned the ten fish. "I still need three more. I'm sure I'll catch some this afternoon!"

"You said the same thing last time."

"...Last time is last time, this time is this time."

“…”

"Don't laugh! Oh, you were definitely secretly laughing with your eyes just now! I saw it!"

"...Okay, cough."
