Nanakusa Mayumi didn't know that, in fact, ever since the Nine Schools War, Fang Zheng had received unanimous attention from all the Ten Master Clans.

The reason is simple: it is easy to get thousands of soldiers, but it is difficult to get a good general.

Although magicians do have great power, their social status is not high. In this world, magic did not appear suddenly. There were magicians in the past, but the magicians at that time were "natural existence". After scientific principles could be analyzed, modern magicians are almost all the result of genetic modification.

For example, the ten master clans are Ichijo, Niki, Sanya, Yotsuba, Gorin, Rokuzuka, Nanakusa, Yashiro, Kyujima, and Jumonji. Doesn't this seem like a coincidence? How could you easily gather all ten clans, and why did the names of each clan add up to numbers from one to ten?

The fact is, the Ten Master Clans, including the Eighteen Master Clans and other numerical families, are actually artificial humans born from gene adjustment experiments, and their family names evolved from the code names of these experimental targets.

This is what human supremacists are targeting, and just like the new humans in the Gundam world, they believe that these genetically modified people with magical powers are not human.

But there are still differences between the two sides.

Although the new humans in Gundam have intelligence and reaction speed far exceeding that of normal people, their individual fragility is no different from that of humans. If you don't drive a Gundam, you can knock it to the ground with a brick.

But magicians are different. They possess unparalleled power. They can even prevent the outbreak of thermonuclear war. From this point of view, magicians have almost become a part of the country's strategic weapons.

So unlike the new humans in Gundam, the government will never give up on magicians. It's like other countries have nuclear weapons. If you destroy their nuclear weapons yourself, isn't that equivalent to asking others to attack you?

But on the other hand, the government cannot stimulate the people too much, so it is basically in a state of compromise.

The Japanese magic world also hopes to change this situation. In the past, there were not many magicians, but now, as Nanakusa's father said, the number of magicians is increasing, which has also produced an "overflow effect." In the past, magicians intermarried, but now, many magicians have chosen to marry and have children with ordinary people.

Kitayama Shizuku is a good example. Her father is a businessman. He fell in love with his mother, a magician, so he pursued her desperately. In the end, they got married and gave birth to Kitayama Shizuku, who then gained magical powers.

There are more and more such things, which means that there are more and more "mixed-blood" magicians who are not controlled by the Ten Master Clans, and their relationship with ordinary people is much closer than that of the Ten Master Clans. In this sense, friction will become more obvious.

Therefore, the magic world urgently needs a "king".

A king who possesses great strength, foresight, decisive character, and is able to lead the magical world forward.

This requirement is not low. There are powerful magicians, and there is no shortage of smart and wise strategists in the Ten Master Clans. However, unlike these, the aura of a king or a hero... can be said to be innate.

Why is it that although the news of Jiang Hui's defeat attracted the attention of the ten master clans, no one protested against it?

In addition to the fact that he is a member of the Ichijo family, another reason is that many people think that Ichijo lacks the "dominance". As the heir of the Ichijo family and the future leader of the Ten Master Clan, his performance is too "elegant" and lacks the "who else but me" domineering aura. In the eyes of many people, Ichijo is too calm and not aggressive enough.

So when Fang Zheng defeated Ichijo Jyouhui in the "Secret Monument Decoding" battle of the Nine Schools War, the power and domineering he displayed immediately made many people's eyes light up.

But then again…

"Mayumi, do you know what Kasugano's magic system is?"

Nanakusa's father looked at his daughter and asked.

After that, the Ten Master Clans conducted a lot of investigations on Fang Zheng, including his origins (which Fang Zheng forged, of course), and they knew everything about them. But there was still a big mystery, which was what kind of magic system Fang Zheng used. In the Nine Schools Battle, although Fang Zheng showed unparalleled overwhelming strength, none of the magicians present could understand what kind of magic he used. Even after inviting the military and the heads of the Ten Master Clans to study it carefully, no conclusion was drawn.

"I'm sorry, father, I don't have any clue either. Kasugano has never revealed any information about this."

In response to her father's question, Nanakusa Mayumi also shook her head.

"Really... Yeah, I understand."

Nanakusa's father didn't seem surprised by his daughter's answer.

"Well, let's see how far he can go."

Although Nanakusa Mayumi thought Fang Zheng's method was rather chaotic, the facts forced her to admit that Fang Zheng's method was indeed very effective.

Fang Zheng did not ask the second-year students to confront those annoying human supremacists head-on. Instead, he asked them to blend into the crowd and call the police immediately if they saw anyone behaving suspiciously.

This is also a way of making good use of one's identity. If a student from a high school calls the police, the police will find all kinds of excuses to shirk responsibility. But if a "kind-hearted citizen" thinks this person is suspicious and calls the police for help, then the police will really have nothing to say.

After a few days, the number of those guys sneaking around in secret suddenly dropped sharply - there was nothing they could do about it, they could still find an excuse when facing the police once or twice, but after three, four, five or six times, even if they made excuses, the police would find that there was really something wrong with these people, and it would be really troublesome to take them back to the police station at that time.

Of course, there were also some people who refused to change their bad habits and wanted to make some big news. These people were directly dragged into the alleys and beaten up, and then ran away after being beaten. There were many similar bad boys among the second-class students selected by Fang Zheng. They were already proficient in this, not to mention that they were allowed to do so by the school, which caused a huge uproar.

Not only that, because of this incident, the relationship between the students in Section 1 and Section 2 in the school has become much closer. Originally, the two sides disliked each other, but now with the protection of the students in Section 2, the students in Section 1 no longer have to go to school in fear, which also made them feel grateful to the students in Section 2. There are even a few interesting anecdotes about the students in Section 2 saving the students in Section 1 who were harassed by human supremacists, and then the two sides began to interact.

"Why did it become like this..."

For Mayumi Nanakusa, she was so depressed that she almost died.

"Hahaha, you look like you're very disappointed."

Looking at his good friend lying on the table, looking like he wanted to find a piece of tofu to kill himself, Watanabe Mari also teased with a smile.

"Isn't this a good thing? Not only does it ensure the safety of our school, but it also promotes the relationship between students in Section 1 and Section 2."

"But it shouldn't be like this. This...is really not right."

Nanakusa Mayumi was really depressed, because in her opinion, Fang Zheng used evil means, which were not fair at all. However, these means that she felt were inappropriate actually had unexpected results. She even worked so hard for so long as the student council president, but she still couldn't achieve it, but Fang Zheng easily accomplished it.

This filled Mayumi Nanakusa with an indescribable sense of frustration.

"Yeah, I never thought that he would use those human supremacists to arouse the students' thoughts of common hatred and close the distance... If he really wants to use them, he can even use the enemy. From a certain perspective, Kasugano is really scary."

However, Fang Zheng himself, who was being nagged by Nanakusa Mayumi and Watanabe Mari, was not happy at all.

“…Why should I do this?”

Looking at the young teacher in front of him, Fang Zheng was completely speechless.

There is an overwhelming shortage of magicians, so the magic teachers at the first high school are not hired for life like other schools. Instead, they are all university tutors or professors who are parachuted into the first high school to teach. It is also because of this that the teaching staff of magic high schools is not perfect, which is why the second-year students can only learn by themselves. Because even if the first-year students want to get guidance from the teacher, they have to wait until they finish their research work at the university and come to the magic high school to teach, so the second-year students naturally have no hope.

This time, Fang Zheng was called in because they wanted him to represent No. 1 High School in the essay competition to be held in Yokohama.

"We can have as many students as we want from the Department of Magic Engineering."

"You're just kidding, Kasugano-kun."

However, the young teacher sitting in front of Fang Zheng was not moved at all and just looked at him with a smile.

"You should know that you have teamed up with Beishan Industry to come up with two papers, 'Generalization of Flying Magic' and 'Automatic Calculation Core', which shocked the entire magic world. With you here, our First High School cannot just casually submit other papers to the competition."

"So the teacher wants me to be responsible for the thesis... You should know that I am still the student council president now, and I have so many things to do that I can't count them all."

"The school believes that you will be fine, Kasugano-kun."

However, the other party clearly did not intend to listen to Fang Zheng's explanation.

"Also, if you can perform well in this essay competition, the school will agree to your previous proposal."

"…Face is really killing people."

"Haha, I'm just responsible for passing on the message."

"That doesn't matter."

Fang Zheng shrugged.

"Anyway, I wasn't the one who was killed. Since you have made your decision, don't regret it."

"I'll leave it to you, Kasugano-kun."

The two sides exchanged a few words, and Fang Zheng left the office and returned to the classroom. Shiba Miyuki was not there. These days, she ran faster than a rabbit after class. Fang Zheng guessed that she might have gone home with her brother, but for Fang Zheng, it didn't matter anyway.

"Shizuku."

Soon, Fang Zheng came to the seat and greeted Kitayama Shizuku.

"What's wrong, Kasugano-san?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Kitayama Shizuku, who was chatting with Mitsui Honoka, raised her head and looked at him.

"How about going on a date with me after school?"

"Why?!"

However, in response to Fang Zheng's invitation, before Kitayama Shizuku could say anything, Mitsui Honoka next to her screamed and jumped up.
