Chapter 51 Go to school! Just an experience
While waiting for the cement to dry, they watched the second episode of "Flower Man". After the first episode was broadcast, Gong Zhili became interested in the education of the island country. She asked the principal about the current education model and found that the aristocratic schools in the TV series were probably equivalent to today's first-class private schools. These schools charge high fees and have set thresholds for students to enter higher education from childhood to adulthood, or have very strict requirements on students' family background. In reality, Shancai would not have been able to accidentally enter such schools to study.
Gong Zhili has no interest in the country's rigid class structure, but she doesn't mind letting her children experience this kind of life.
It should be interesting.
But she brought up the topic after the second episode and asked the five children if they wanted to go to such a school in the future. Surprisingly, they all said no.
Tsu Miki was the first to shake her head. Although she liked the male lead of the TV series, she was also the one who felt the most sorry for the female lead.
"In a school like this, many people watch others bully Shancai," said Jin Meiji. "People who help Shancai will also be bullied. This is absolutely unacceptable."
Fushiguro Megumi also nodded. After watching the TV, Itadori also became angry: "Bullying! No way!"
Ah, these children are all good children. Gong Zhili turned his attention to the twins.
Nanako: "No, I want to go to school with Tsumiki."
Mimiko also shook her head: "Those students look very weak."
Miyajima turned his gaze towards Nanami: "What do you think of this kind of school?"
Nanami Kento: "Everyone in there basically has some kind of personality defect."
Huiyuan Xiong admitted: "I don't like this kind of school."
Gong Zhili was curious: "What kind of school is your middle school?"
Nanami Kento: "An ordinary junior high school, with ordinary teachers and students."
Huiyuan Xiong touched his head and said, "The club is just an ordinary club."
Gong Zhili fell back somewhat frustratedly: "Ordinary schools are boring."
She doesn't want to waste her time in an ordinary school.
Nanami Kento keenly heard the hidden meaning in her words and asked, "Ms. Gong, do you want to go to school?" He agreed with this. Although Miss Gong was completely independent in life, at the age of fourteen, seeing Miss Gong in school would make him feel more at ease.
Gong Zhili shook his head: "Ordinary schools are boring. I want to experience a school that is a little exciting."
Huiyuan Xiong's intuition made him tremble with fear: "What do you mean by exciting school?"
Gong Zhili grinned. "That kind of closed-off school with high-ranking young masters and young ladies."
In other words, a school where both students and teachers are hopelessly bad.
Nanami Kento turned his head away: His own school was absolutely not suitable to recommend to this person, she was really just looking for excitement.
Huiyuan Yu firmly suggested: "Why not ask Gojo-senpai? He will definitely have a solution."
Gojo Satoru received a call from Miya Chiri. Contrary to his usual behavior, he did not complain, but actively gave her a solution: "I can send you to Lianzhi Women's College to study in the second year, but you have to protect a student in the school."
Gong Zhili ignored the subsequent exchange mission. She stroked her chin and said, "Women's College, it sounds soft and has no offensive power."
Gojo Satoru's eyes widened slightly on the other end of the line, and then he laughed. "You want excitement? Then I'll put you in the same class with that kid. You'll feel the excitement soon enough, but that kid must not die. Okay?"
Gong Zhili drawled out, "This involves a life. Is there a deadline? Let me make it clear, I will leave the school once I achieve my goal."
Gojo Satoru got straight to the point with her: "What are you going to do at school?"
Gong Zhili: "I need a stimulating environment to practice my new abilities, and school just happened to come to mind. Since I'm still a minor, it's understandable that I could do something a little out of the ordinary in school."
Gojo Satoru was shocked: "You are such a goal-oriented person."
Gong Zhili: "Let's talk about this transaction. I hope you can offer me a price that satisfies me."
Gong Zhili wanted to practice his ability of "teleportation" at school. Who hasn't thought, "I wish I could be in the classroom in the next second" when they overslept or were late for school?
She kind of wanted to experience this kind of life. She had been thinking that a harsh environment might be more conducive to stimulating the development of her abilities. Simply put, after laying the foundation in the village, she had to start working on her new abilities on her own.
Just like Gojo and Getsu, they adapt faster under extreme conditions and pressure.
Although office workers may also have the idea that “it would be nice if it only took the blink of an eye to get from home to the company”, she said again that her current physical age is really holding her back!
Gojo Satoru then told them about their current negotiations with Lord Tengen. They must find a way to prevent the fusion of Tennuriko and Lord Tengen before Lord Tengen evolves, but during this period there are always many people behind the scenes trying to obstruct them.
"So you're fighting evil forces, saving innocent girls' lives, and, by the way, changing the cursed spirit ecosystem across the island nation?" Gong Zhili concluded. "Actually, as for the latter, I think improving the nation's economic ecology and the people's living conditions would be more effective first."
Gojo Satoru sighed loudly, "The point isn't the latter part. Will you accept the first mission? I guarantee you'll encounter all sorts of curse masters, strange cursed spirits, and the filthy, lingering embers of the high-ranking officials in the world of curses. You can have a blast, okay?"
Gong Zhili didn't respond. "I've inquired about Shi'er-kun's price before." Actually, he'd seen Tian Yu Zhu Fu's price on the black market. "I'm not as experienced as him, so I'll give you a 50% discount. Still 50 million, how about that?"
Gojo Satoru said cheerfully, "Okay, then when can you transfer there?"
Miya Chiri gave him a time, and Gojo Satoru said that he would transfer the money to her on the day of enrollment - thank God, she didn't have to withdraw cash anymore.
After hanging up the phone, Gong Zhili began to arrange things for the children: She would go to school for a while. Her new ability had already taken shape. If all went well, she would be able to teleport back and forth between the school and the village within a week. If not, she would have to live in the school for the first few days.
This was probably the longest time she had ever been apart from her twins.
As expected, having a child makes you feel tied down. Gong Zhili sighed again.

Meanwhile, Gojo Satoru, despite Tenriko's glare, happily announced, "I've found you a very strong bodyguard. It cost me 50 million. You two must get along well."
Geto: "Chiri promised you?"
He wondered, "Why did she think of coming to school?"
Gojo shrugged: "The young lady wants some excitement." He seemed to find it very interesting to call Miya Chiri "young lady" and laughed.
Tenriko twisted her fingers together and quickly released them, saying stubbornly, "I don't need any guards, I—"
Misato Kuroi knew that she was reluctant to leave Gojo and Geto. After all, they had been by her side these days, and these two people really deserved the title of the strongest in the world of curse. And contrary to the title of the strongest, there was "gentleness" and "meticulousness" hidden under the unreliable character of high school students.
Kuroi had many regrets in his heart: the two people who were causing such a stir in the world of curse arts had unexpectedly good tempers.
Kuroi asked: "What kind of person is the other party? Forgive me for being so nosy, but things have been turbulent in the school recently. If you are not strong enough--"
When they first came into contact with Tengen, they showed some intention to prevent Tengen and Tennen from assimilating. Those forces fighting for the astral plasma rushed over from all directions like crazy. There were endless people who wanted to control her or destroy her. In this situation, Tennen Riko was still able to stay in school instead of fleeing, all because of Gojo and Getsu who were guarding the school.
With their dazzlingly powerful techniques and bottomless cursed energy, they dealt with the cockroaches and rats as if it were a piece of cake, but Kuroi would never underestimate the counterattacking forces, so there was a hint of anxiety in her words.
Tenriko, who had been with her day and night, understood the implication of her words and said with a strong voice, "I don't need any young lady to protect me. I'm of noble birth, and ordinary scoundrels wouldn't dare approach me. Sending someone to protect me is simply nonsense."
Kuroi Misato promptly acted as an interpreter: "Besides considering strength, there's also the opponent's personality. If... their personalities don't match, there will be a security loophole, right?"
Geto Suguru expertly took over the role of comforting the other person and said, "Chiri is a very kind girl, and she's only a year older than you. Girls of similar ages will be more comfortable getting along with each other, right? And don't worry about Chiri's strength." He paused, "She's very strong, and her abilities are very suitable for a bodyguard role. Maybe she can even go shopping with you guys."
He also knew that it was not a good idea to keep Riko in school for the time being, but Riko had been cooperating with them without a single complaint.
Tenriko was already a little moved when she heard this, but she still refused to give in: "Who knows... Anyway, let's meet him first and then we can talk about it!"

Miya Chiri left the household chores to Nanami and Haibara. Last time, they were able to make dishes without making any mistakes by following the recipe, and they are now capable of serving as chefs for the time being.
She was confident that the other children had the basic ability to take care of themselves and had memorized the rules of the house, but Nanami and Haibara looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy and had heavy expressions.
"I cannot bear the responsibility of saving a child's life." Nanami Kento's first reaction was to refuse.
Huiyuan Xiong also felt that this was inappropriate: "There is a lake and a forest near our home. If children run around, they can easily get hurt."
Gong Zhili suddenly realized: "Ah, I don't think I have shown this to you before."
Nanami Kento: "This?" He realized that the topic Miya Chiri was talking about was probably related to the village. "Is this your technique?"
Gong Zhili: "If you are used to calling it a ritual, then it should be a ritual, right?"
The children were already asleep at this time. Miya Chiri promised them that she would not leave secretly, so they went to sleep peacefully. She called Nanami and Haibara to the doorstep. At this time, the village was particularly quiet under the moonlight.
Gong Zhili leaned against the wooden door, moonlight streaming like a silver stream at her feet. The wind chimes on the eaves had been still, but suddenly a gust of wind ignited a crisp tinkle. The tuberoses at the base of the wall suddenly closed their buds, and the courtyard fell into a dead silence. Suddenly, the windmill jasmine on the second floor burst into a thousand white stars, their fragrance carried by the wind, enveloping the entire mansion.
The wisteria at the door climbed up the doorposts in an instant, and a blue-purple waterfall hung down from the porch. Huihara felt a strong murderous intent in this beautiful waterfall, and he couldn't help but take a step back. Nanami Kento smelled another fragrance, and he leaned over to look at the balcony. The gardenia tree outside the balcony, which had been in bloom, had swelled in size, almost filling the space on the balcony. The roses around the house usually only showed their delicate flowers. Nanami Kento had always loved those rose bushes, but today he found that its branches and leaves had a cold and hard metallic luster.
An even more astonishing spectacle unfolded outside. The lake swelled in silence, its vast, transparent waves rising slowly into the air as if restrained by an invisible dome, forming an arcing curtain of water that encircled the village. Duckweed held its own within the wall of water, carp hovered in bubbles expelled from the wave crests, and the reeds along the shore lay neatly flattened, the down on their stalks standing erect, like a thousand silver arrows pointing toward the moon. Nanami Kento had no doubt that if an intruder or a child fell into the water, these creatures would carry them home unharmed and tear the unfortunate intruder to pieces.
Gong Zhili snapped her fingers, and all the wisteria flowers detached from the vines one by one, floating in a rotating star ring. The white petals of the windmill jasmine began to curl up spontaneously, and the wind whistling around the mansion also dissipated at her fingertips. The lake water, which was full of energy, slid into the lake as if along some invisible track. The waves did not even form a whirlpool, and only the last aftermath beat against the reeds on the lakeshore.
The ringing of the bell gradually faded away, as if there had only been a gentle breeze blowing by.
Only those who have seen it know what a remarkable miracle it is.
"Even if I leave the village, everything here will protect you and the children," Gong Zhili said. "This is the safest place."
Nanami Kento and Haibara Yu could no longer hear what she was saying, and both looked dazed.
It seems that I can only talk to them again tomorrow. Gong Zhili had no choice but to urge them to go to rest.
Before entering the door, Gong Zhili looked up at the second floor, sighed, laughed and shook his head.
Yuji Itadori covered his mouth and looked at Miki Tsuguro and Megumi Fushiguro, who also covered their mouths with their eyes wide open.
——This is amazing! This is amazing!
Yuji Itadori really wanted to scream, wanted to jump up to express how shocked and excited he was, and wanted to discuss the dreamlike scene with his friends, but after taking a few deep breaths, Miki Fushiguro said in a low and firm voice: "Go back and sleep!"
Although Yuji Itadori spent a short time with Miki Tsugami, he recognized her role in the small group and reluctantly went back to bed with Megumi Fushiguro.
"Mei, Hui," Yuji turned over several times, but still couldn't help but whispered to Fushiguro, "Are you asleep?"
Of course, Megumi Fushiguro was not asleep. His eyes were still wide open, but he was quietly recalling the scene in his head, replaying it over and over again. When Itadori called him a few times without any response, he thought he was asleep, so he turned over in frustration, played with the doll's ears with his fingers, and gradually fell asleep while muttering to himself.
