"Fujimaru Ritsuka is a student of our school, and as the principal, I am certainly qualified."
"No one else is allowed to enter."
The guard coldly interrupted Moth Masamichi's speech, showing no concern for his explanation.
"."
Masamichi Yagami remained silent, his hands, which hung naturally at his sides, unconsciously clenching into fists. Just then, Fujimaru Ritsuka's cheerful and clear voice rang out—
"It's alright, Principal Moth, I can go by myself."
She gave Moth Masamichi a light smile, as if she were going on a picnic rather than facing the highest authority in the world of sorcery.
For some reason, seeing the other person's smile made him feel inexplicably relaxed, but considering the current situation, he could only nod heavily and say:
"I understand. Be careful."
"Ok!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka then pushed open the door and entered, disappearing from Yogami Masamichi's sight as the door closed again.
As the highest authority in the world of sorcery, the Director's Office is where the higher-ups set rules and issue orders, which are then regarded as truth and carried out by their subordinates.
The entire director's office was shrouded in darkness, with only one light shining vertically down from the center of the room, while the surroundings were pitch black, as if concealing endless darkness and some unspeakable secret.
At the boundary between light and darkness stood six screens, arranged in a circle to surround Fujimaru Ritsuka, who stood in the center. The higher-ups were hidden behind the screens, and could only vaguely see her blurry figure.
"Have I gone to the wrong place?"
Looking at the scene before her, she couldn't help but ask a question.
Because no matter how you look at it, this place looks more like an interrogation room than some supreme authority.
"quiet."
Just then, an old and serious voice came from in front of her, and then the person began to tell her about her information.
"Fujimaru Ritsuka, a first-year student at Tokyo Metropolitan High School of Jujutsu, her spell is [Heroic Spirit Summoning]."
"Initially registered as a Level 3 Spellcaster, however, based on recent performance, it can be determined that he has deliberately concealed his strength. In addition, his place of origin, his experience before entering the academy, and his true identity are unknown."
"Do you have anything to explain regarding the above issues?"
Is this a show of force right from the start?
She thought at least they would try to reason with her first, but to her surprise, they didn't say a single kind word and immediately started questioning her.
The local officials are so rude!
As for what to explain?
Thinking of the words of advice that Masamichi Nobi had just given her, she silently apologized to him in her heart.
Sorry, Principal Moth, but before you gave me your advice on how to get along with these old guys, Mr. Gojo had already told me.
Then, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:
"Sorry, no comment."
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
Seemingly taken aback that a naive young girl dared to openly defy them, the director's office suddenly fell silent.
The next moment, a furious shout suddenly came from her left rear:
"Utter disrespect!!"
"Do you know who you're talking to?!"
At the same time, a sinister old woman's voice came from the right.
"He's just a first-year student, yet he dares to show such contempt for our dignity. It seems that the kid Night Moth is truly negligent and should be severely punished as well!"
"What you said is absolutely true."
Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but frown slightly, but continued:
"Mr. Gojo promised me that I only need to be responsible to him. I have already given him all the information about me. If you have any questions, please ask him."
"Hmph, trying to intimidate us with Gojo Satoru? That guy is nothing but an arrogant brat who doesn't know his own limitations!"
A disdainful voice came from the left, seemingly expressing considerable disgust for Gojo Satoru's existence.
Directly in front of him, the old man who had initially questioned Fujimaru Ritsuka now spoke with a strong sense of displeasure, threateningly saying:
"In the end, Gojo Satoru is just a sorcerer under our jurisdiction. The General Council is the highest authority in the sorcery world, and no one can defy the General Council's decisions."
"If you continue to choose to conceal this, then we can only regard you as an unknown individual who has infiltrated the world of sorcery—"
"Execute him!"
However, Fujimaru Ritsuka remained unmoved and steadfast in the face of the so-called death threat.
"Feel sorry."
After saying this, she bowed respectfully and turned to leave.
But at this moment——
"Qiang!"
Jeanne Alter, who had been in a spirit form the entire time, and Ryougi Shiki suddenly appeared. Ryougi Shiki protected Fujimaru Ritsuka behind her, while Jeanne Alter wielded her flag spear to block the attack that came from behind.
The situation inside the room changed again. Everyone stared in astonishment at the two Servants who had suddenly appeared. They could not sense any trace of magical power and had no idea how they had appeared.
Joan of Arc Alter stared intently at the high-ranking officer who had launched the sneak attack, her eyes radiating murderous intent.
"Do you want to die?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 57 What to do when higher-ups don't listen? Just give them a beating.
"Ritsuka, be careful."
Gojo Satoru instructed Fujimaru Ritsuka:
"Now that your affair has been exposed, those rotten oranges up there are probably planning some more trouble, right?"
"I can't guarantee I'll be there all the time, and there's even a possibility they might deliberately transfer me away. In that case, you'll have to rely on yourself."
"Well, I see."
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, then asked:
"If that situation were to actually occur, to what extent could I go about doing it?"
"Oh, let me think about it."
Gojo looked up at the sky and began to think.
"Although I would be happy if all those bastards died, I would feel a little guilty if my lovely students got their hands dirty just to kill these worthless rotten oranges."
"So let us dirty adults do the killing."
After thinking for a moment, he chuckled and snapped his fingers, saying:
"So be it."
"Do whatever you want as long as they don't die."
The rapidly deteriorating situation made the atmosphere in the room even more silent. The high-ranking officials, who were hiding behind the screen, looked at the two Servants who had suddenly appeared.
At this moment, a high-ranking officer, whose ambush had failed and been discovered, instead of calming down when faced with Jeanne Alter's murderous gaze, angrily reprimanded Fujimaru Ritsuka:
"How dare you use magic in the director's office? Are you trying to betray us?!"
"."
Joan of Arc Alter's gaze grew colder as she looked at the man, and in the next instant, raging flames erupted beneath her feet.
Amidst the rising cries of panic from the upper echelons, the flames consumed the screen in front of them and quickly filled the entire small room, illuminating the previously dark surroundings with blazing fire.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
The person who had just attacked Fujimaru Ritsuka was instantly engulfed in flames, turning into a human-shaped torch, and letting out a shrill scream.
"Joan of Arc Alter".
"Ok, I know."
The fire stopped after a short while, and the charred body of the high-ranking official fell straight to the ground. She had not disobeyed Fujimaru Ritsuka's orders and had controlled the power of the flames to a level that would not burn anyone to death.
However, sometimes, it's better to die than to live.
"It really needs to be brighter."
Looking at the finally brightened director's office, Fujimaru Ritsuka sighed and finally got a clear look at the faces of these so-called high-ranking officials.
There weren't any people who looked particularly like villains; they were more or less the wealthy old men and women on the street.
Seeing this, she was a little disappointed.
Because these people appeared so mysteriously, she thought some of them would look particularly scary.
These high-ranking officials had long forgotten what fighting was. A sneak attack like the one just now was their limit. When they saw that Fujimaru Ritsuka actually dared to attack them, they immediately lost their usual arrogance and looked at her with fear.
The blazing flames that were within reach of them seemed poised to devour them completely at any moment.
"Guard, guard!"
A high-ranking officer shouted in panic, but no one responded, as if the guards outside the door were all asleep.
-
The moment he realized the situation inside the director's room had changed, Masamichi Noi knocked out two guards and then continued to wait outside the door.
He couldn't interfere with what was happening inside the door, but as the principal, he could still do his best to help his students in small ways outside.
He murmured worriedly, unsure of what was happening behind the door.
"You need to be careful, Ritsuka."
He wasn't worried about Fujimaru Ritsuka's safety; what worried him was what would happen if she went too far—
