Chapter 25: Questioning

　　At the same time.

　　Ye Mo Zheng Dao was urgently summoned to a high-level meeting.

　　The highest power in the entire world of spells gathers here. They control all humans, including spellcasters and the whereabouts of humans. They divide the area and send spellcasters to different areas to protect ordinary people from the ever-increasing curse spirits and maintain world peace.

　　The Gojo family is strictly managed. Previously, Gojo Satoru brought Kojima Kei home and announced the news that they had become lovers, but the outside world did not know this information, otherwise Kojima Kei would not have stayed so comfortably in Gojo Satoru's house for such a long time.

　　This time, Yega Masamichi called Kei Kojima to come back, which was also an order from the top.

　　The battle between Gojo Satoru and Zenin Shin'er completely promoted Gojo Satoru's strength to the ranks of special-grade sorcerers. Although he is still only a first-grade sorcerer, everyone knows that promotion to special grade is a matter of time. It just depends on how long the top management is willing to suppress it.

　　Special-grade sorcerers are an important force in the world of sorcery. They have outstanding abilities, and one of them is worth a thousand low-grade sorcerers, or even more.

　　A powerful and dangerous human.

　　Such a person must be firmly controlled by the magic world. If he is allowed to wander outside, it will inevitably cause social unrest.

　　The current Gojo Satoru has made them completely alert, and they urgently recalled Kei Kojima in order to reduce the excessive contact between Gojo Satoru and Kei Kojima.

　　Even within the top management, even if some people knew the importance of Kei Kojima, they were still unaware of the deeper inside story, just like Masamichi Yaga. Only a few people knew his uniqueness.

　　——Besides, it is still unclear whether this ability can be used, but before that, we must treat it with caution.

　　This time, Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru's mission to escort the Star Plasma failed, and there were mixed reviews.

　　Some people think that Gojo Satoru's strength is expanding too quickly and needs to be suppressed to prevent this arrogant boy from becoming even more arrogant.

　　Some people believe that the world of magic is in urgent need of strong leaders to inspire the fighting spirit of the younger generations and make the entire world of magic prosper.

　　The two factions have been arguing and have not reached a conclusion on the outcome of the mission, so naturally there have been no rewards or ratings.

　　And just now, they received shocking news.

　　——Gojo Satoru announced publicly that Kojima Kei was his lover.

　　The two factions, which had been arguing with each other, now united as a front and directed their attacks at Gojo Satoru.

　　"What is he going to do?! This is rebellion!"

　　"The power of this clan has finally awakened! This is the opportunity we have been waiting for hundreds of years! We must not let anyone else snatch it away!"

　　"The power of the six eyes is truly terrifying. Could it be that he saw something from Kojima Kei?"

　　"The most important thing now is to extract the conditions for activating the technique from that woman. Damn it! She's been holding out for so long! What a stubborn woman!"

　　When Ye Mo Zheng Dao was called over, he was severely criticized by the stubborn old men, who angrily scolded him for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a teacher and for causing such a big mess:

　　"Because you were classmates, we didn't bother you about meeting that woman privately. Ye Moth Zhengdao! You and your students have no regard for the rules! How outrageous! This is a school with a long tradition! It's a place for teaching and answering questions. To do something so immoral! You're completely disgraced!"

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao pushed up his glasses and said seriously:

　　"My students are all very hardworking and have never broken the rules. I don't know what you gentlemen are talking about. I am completely confused. Please explain clearly."

　　"Shut up! Do you still want to protect your students?"

　　Someone interrupted him with a gruff voice:

　　"We all know it! Such a scandal actually happened at Jujutsu High School! Yemo, break them up immediately! Keep that kid from the Gojo family away from Kei Kojima! Don't think we don't know what he's up to!"

　　"A half-grown brat wants to meddle in the affairs of adults. Every generation of Six Eyes is just as ignorant of their own limitations! He wants to control the world? It's not his turn to make the decisions yet!"

　　If there hadn't been a baffle in the middle, Ye Mo Zhengdao would have felt that the saliva was about to splash onto his face.

　　These old men were very old, but their voices were still very loud. He was so dizzy that he calmed down and said:

　　"What's your plan? I don't know what's so special about Kojima Kei. He's just a grader.

　　I can recite all the Jujutsu High School rules backwards. Which one says it's against dating on campus? Which one says it's against dating between boys? Sorry, I can't agree with what you're accusing me of. It's normal for young people to have relationships, right? But aren't you stretching your imagination a bit too far, extending this to Satoru wanting to interfere? We're all mature adults, after all. How about being more reasonable?

　　Ye Mo Zheng Dao heard someone gritting his teeth behind the screen, but he couldn't find any reason to refute him. He could only use power, status and age to make excuses. Apart from that, he had no other weapons.

　　Elders or people in power who appear righteous on a daily basis will only reveal their true side when their interests are threatened.

　　Maybe they don't even know how ugly they are.

　　Ye Mo Zhengdao had a calm expression, as if these people's curses had no effect on him, but his heart kept sinking.

　　It seems that Kojima Kei is more important than he thought, which means...

　　——Rina.

　　Is there still hope of rescuing her?

　　After these people have used her up, will they still let her live?

　　"Night Moth Zhengdao, this is an order, not a negotiation. I hope you can understand this."

　　An old voice said:

　　"Otherwise, we'll have to lock up Kei Kojima like his mother. That way, things will be easier. Nightmoth, you know what to choose, right?"

　　Ye Mo Zheng Dao was filled with rage upon hearing this, but he suppressed his temper and replied:

　　"What are you doing? Kei has never made a mistake since he came to school. He trains diligently every day and even goes above and beyond to complete the homework and assignments assigned to him. His relationship with Satoru shouldn't warrant him being put in solitary confinement, right? Or are you afraid of his power?"

　　"Shut up, you ignorant child!"

　　"Everything we do is for social stability!"

　　"What do you know!"

　　Ye Mo Zheng Dao's words were immediately met with fierce rebuttal and denunciation.

　　Ye Mo Zheng Dao couldn't help but sneer.

　　They know clearly whether it is for social stability or for their own status.

　　This power system in the world of sorcery has been passed down for too long, and many corrupt systems are still in use today. These people are like cancer, sucking blood from rising sorcerers all their lives, dividing up information and wealth until they are drained, and then replacing them with a new batch, endlessly.

　　But he was in the middle of it all, powerless to change it, and wanted to do his best to contribute his little.

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao said in a deep voice:

　　"I will keep a close eye on my students, but no one can touch them unless they break the rules. I'm an educator, and I understand this principle best. I don't agree with your approach. Or do you think you can make Gojo Satoru obedient? Follow your instructions?"

　　"Nightmoth! What do you mean by that? Are you threatening us? Are we afraid of a mere Gojo Satoru?"

　　"Who do you think you are? Your current status is given by us! Speak respectfully to your elders!"

　　Someone behind the screen shouted loudly, but he seemed weak and a little guilty.

　　"That's all I have to say. I have things to do, so I'll leave first."

　　Ye Mo Zhengdao politely took his leave. When he walked out the door, he looked at the endless blue sky outside the window and let out a sigh of frustration.

　　This road is really difficult to walk on.

　　At this time, only the group of people in power were left in the hall.

　　It seemed that Ye Mo Zheng Dao's last words woke them up, and the atmosphere was now depressing.

　　The young man is fearless, not to mention that he is already a top sorcerer. They have long known that this man disobeys orders and acts arrogantly. If, as Yega Masamichi said, they do something to Kojima Kei, I am afraid Gojo Satoru will not let it go.

　　"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have had such compassion. I should have let him serve Master Tianyuan earlier, and there wouldn't be so many problems now."

　　Someone complained.

　　"What's the point of saying this now?"

　　The white-bearded old man next to him sneered:

　　"Besides, we're using Tengen-sama's disguise. Isn't he aware of it? It'll be exposed sooner or later. Furthermore, Tengen-sama never agreed to have humans serve him; he prefers a quiet life. Now that Gojo Satoru has openly stated this, he's probably learned of Kojima Kei's specialness through the Six Eyes and wants to take possession of him. Taking action against Kojima Kei now... I'm afraid it'll be difficult."

　　There was a lot of discussion in the hall.

　　"I can only think of another way..."

　　"Why not open up his mission permissions, separate the two of them, and find another opportunity..."

　　The other side.

　　Ye Mo Zhengdao looked gloomily at the two people standing opposite him who were unaware that they had already caused a big disaster, and he was extremely angry.

　　Gojo Satoru leaned against the railing, one arm around Kojima Kei, and stood lazily.

　　On the other hand, Kei Kojima looked guilty and looked at Yaga Masamichi's expression cautiously. He wanted to pull Gojo Satoru's arm away, but unfortunately his strength was too weak and he couldn't pull it apart. He could only smile embarrassedly at Yaga Masamichi.

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao: "..."

　　This doesn't look like an active confession, it doesn't look like he likes Gojo Satoru very much!

　　Wu, on the other hand, is more like a bully who seizes an innocent family.

　　Ye Mo Zhengdao felt his head begin to ache again.

　　"What's going on? Explain it to me, both of you!"

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao tried to hold back, but still couldn't help it:

　　"Satoru! Take your arms away! This is school! Stand still! You're always slouching!"

　　"Mr. Ye Moth, I should have made it clear before. We are together. Isn't it obvious?"

　　Gojo Satoru pretended to be puzzled and said:

　　"Have you forgotten so quickly?"

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao: "..."

　　"I'm sorry, Mr. Nightmoth."

　　Kei Kojima quickly stood in front of Gojo Satoru:

　　"It's my problem. I... like Gojo-senpai. I'm with Gojo-senpai of my own free will! It has nothing to do with Gojo-senpai!"

　　He mumbled:

　　"Mr. Yega... I'm sorry, if the school doesn't allow it, I will break up with Gojo-senpai and keep my distance from him in the future!"

　　Before this, I had heard from senior Ieiri Nozomi that Mr. Yega was called in and scolded by his superiors because of the matter between the two of them, and even his appointment as the next principal was suspended.

　　Kei Kojima doesn't want to cause trouble to others because of his own affairs.

　　It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing to begin with, and now is the perfect time to wrap it up. I'll go back and apologize to Gojo Satoru and say it was just a joke. I wonder if he'll accept that...

　　He thought so in his heart.

　　"No~ I won't agree~"

　　Gojo Satoru spoke slowly from behind him.

　　Kojima Kei: "..."

　　I knew you were a troublemaker! Can't you just tell a little lie first?

　　Kei Kojima raised his arm and hit Gojo Satoru in the abdomen.

　　Gojo Satoru held Kojima Kei's elbow and smiled without saying a word.

　　Noctua righteousness pushes glasses:

　　"Kyu, go back to the dorm first. I need to talk to Satoru alone."

　　Kojima Kei looked a little worried and explained:

　　"Teacher, this really has nothing to do with Gojo-senpai. This is my problem. We'll fix it."

　　He was the one who started this problem in the first place, so he should be the one to solve it.

　　"Well, I know. It's okay. You go back first and have a good rest. I will look for you tomorrow." Ye Mo Zhengdao's tone towards Kojima Kei became much gentler.

　　Kei Kojima was a little hesitant and couldn't help but look back at Gojo Satoru.

　　Gojo Satoru nodded at him and said:

　　"Go ahead, I'll come find you later."

　　"……good."

　　Only then did Kei Kojima slowly leave.

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao: "..."

　　So, my words as the homeroom teacher are completely useless? It's only been a few days, and you only listen to Wu?

　　Every time I saw Wu, he looked like he had seen a ghost. How come he disappeared so quickly!

　　Doesn’t young love come a little too quickly?

　　The righteous path of the moth is difficult to understand.

　　Kei Kojima left, looking back every few steps, fearing that the two of them would fight.

　　"Satoru, what do you think?"

　　When only Yaga Masamichi and Gojo Satoru were left, the anger on Yaga Masamichi's face disappeared, replaced by calmness and a question:

　　"Don't make it difficult for Kei, he doesn't know anything."

　　"Because he knows nothing, I have no choice but to take this approach."

　　Gojo Satoru replied:

　　"Teacher, don't you think that Jay has some problems recently?"

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao fell silent.

　　"I'll find out."

　　Gojo Satoru looked ahead with a solemn gaze:

　　"I don't believe something like that would happen. If it were true... I would do my best to stop it."

　　Ye Moth Zhengdao sighed slightly:

　　"Kui is a picky kid. You're older than him, so don't bully him all the time. Don't make it so that it becomes unresolved."

　　"Don't worry, teacher, I know my limits."

　　Gojo Satoru smiled.

　　The next day, Kojima Kei received a notice from Yaga Masamichi stating that starting today, he could accept missions as usual, just like everyone else. This meant that his ban had been lifted, and he was no different from everyone else.

　　However, he is basically the only fourth-level sorcerer now, so for his first mission, he will work together with Haibara Yu.

　　Kei Kojima trained his troops for a thousand days and deployed them in just one moment, so he was quite nervous when carrying out his first mission.

　　I heard from them that every time they perform a task, there will be corresponding supervisors nearby to score their tasks and determine whether they have the ability to perform higher-level tasks based on the task evaluation.

　　Kei Kojima has only had one experience of removing cursed spirits so far. Now, after more than half a year, his skills have been fully honed. At least now, he won't be in a rush.

　　In order to take his rank into consideration, the two of them went together to carry out the lowest level mission.

　　"Haibara, can you promise me that you can let me take action first this time?" Kei Kojima said this before the mission began.

　　"Of course, I'll give you good support! Go ahead!"

　　Huiyuan Xiong patted his shoulder and said excitedly.

　　"Thank you very much."

　　Kojima Kei said.

　　A huge curse spirit slowly appeared from mid-air. It was a third-level curse spirit. Although it looked big, it moved slowly, had a rigid mindset, and rarely hurt anyone. It always stayed in its own little corner.

　　But the cursed spirit is ultimately a hidden danger. If left unattended and allowed to grow and develop, it will sooner or later become a threat to society.

　　Kei Kojima leaped up from the wall and drew his sword.

　　The tip of the sword burst out from the scabbard, flashing a cold sword light, drawing a graceful arc in the air, and rushed towards the cursed spirit.

　　He had done this countless times, facing wooden stakes, cursed tools, and the masters who taught him swordsmanship.

　　This is another path that Teacher Ye Mo has opened up for him.

　　Compress the cursed energy in the sword, and then swing the sword to release the high-density cursed energy.

　　However, he had been practicing for a long time but had never found the right method. After more than half a year, he finally succeeded.

　　The sword light formed by the curse power appeared in the air and hit the curse spirit.

　　With a "puff" sound.

　　Like cutting a piece of paper, it slid easily through the middle of the neck and instantly cut off the head of the cursed spirit.

　　Completely different from his previous exam panic, this time he was obviously much more relaxed.

　　No need to hide here and there, find a corner, and delay time to complete your technique.

　　Kei Kojima is now no longer as weak as he was when he first entered school, and has begun to show fighting ability.

　　Although his current rating is only that of a fourth-level sorcerer, it is no problem for him to remove low-level cursed spirits. This is the result of his hard practice day and night.

　　The curse dissipated and the tent slowly rose.

　　Kei Kojima swung his sword and put it back into the scabbard.

　　There are still five months left until the date of Kei Kojima's death in his previous life.
