Heaven has bound me to weakness? I angrily unleash the Eight Gates!

Seeing her classmates making rapid progress while she had reached her limit, she didn't say it out loud, but she still resented herself for having such poor talent.

Even though her power is greater than that of most sorcerers, without the spell glasses, she can't even see the spell spirits.

What kept her moving forward was not only the ridicule from the Zen monks, but also her master's recognition of her.

"Don't get too excited. We don't know if it will work yet. After this, take a good rest and get yourself in good shape before you come back to me."

Maki's physical strength has clearly reached the requirements for cultivating the Eight Gates Formation, but whether she can cultivate the power of blood and qi is another matter.

After all, there was a trace of curse power within the other party.

"I understand, Master. I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Maki's eyes were firm; she was determined to become as strong as her master!

Seeing that his companions were all alright, Yigu prepared to fulfill his promise to Lixiang.

After all, the power of pure love must be repaid once borrowed.

Zenji Jinsuke looked at Rika, who was standing there blankly with wide eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little amused. Such a powerful cursed spirit, what a pity...

A touching scene unfolds: Otsuko, who intended to die with Rika, does not get his wish. Instead, he happens to lift the curse on Rika, allowing her to return to human form.

This scene left Yigu frozen in place, "Rika..."

"Clap clap clap."

"Congratulations, the curse has been lifted."

Gojo Satoru appeared, clapping his hands, and explained the reason.

Maki and the others looked puzzled. Who was this white-haired guy?

Having never seen Gojo Satoru without his blindfold, the students didn't immediately recognize him.

"Of course I'm the handsome Gojo Satoru!"

Gojo Satoru said something narcissistic, and then began to explain the matter of the Otsuku to everyone.

"Yigu's lineage is quite special. He is one of the three great vengeful spirits, a descendant of Sugawara no Michizane, and also a distant relative of mine..."

Zenji Jinsuke, uninterested in things he already knew, quietly left.

At the same time, he was examining the scriptures in his mind, and he was already able to open seven pages completely.

[Door open: 100%]

[Rest Gate: 100%]

[Life Gate: 100%]

[Injury Point: 100%]

[Du Men: 100%]

[Jingmen: 100%]

[Surprise Attack: 100%]

[Dead Gate: 0.8%]

After this great harvest, the Eight Gates can finally open up to the seventh gate.

He discovered that in the later stages, even the vital energy provided by the exorcising spirits decreased, or rather, the vital energy required for cultivation increased.

He estimated that this final step would require several more large-scale massacres, or finding more top-tier curses to kill.

"Looks like we'll still have to rely on Xia You."

The mini-boss is gone, but the big boss hasn't appeared yet.

We can keep profiting in the future.

Although the seven gates of Heavenly Curse and Binding are almost enough, it still feels like something's missing if you don't train it to the maximum level.

Xia Youjie probably never imagined that even after he died, someone would still exploit him like a sheep.

With the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons over, the world of sorcery has returned to a brief period of peace.

However, three days later, the higher-ups made a decision that shattered the hard-won peace.

"The higher-ups have decided to expel two second-year students from the vocational high school, Kinji Shirai and Kirara Hoshi."

In the conference room of Tokyo High School, Masamichi Yagami announced the orders that had just been issued by the higher-ups.

The techniques used by Kinji and Kirara ultimately drew criticism from the conservative faction at the top.

They dislike this approach, which is closer to modern science, and anything they dislike, they want to dismiss.

"Why?! What did they do that violated the rules? Hyakki Yagyō and Hoshiki also contributed this time, why are they being expelled? I don't agree!"

Riko Tennatsu, who had mentored the two for a period of time, was the first to stand up and object.

Just because you don't understand someone else's technique, you want to fire them?

Is there no justice left? Is there no law left?

The other teachers remained silent because they knew that their opposition to the decision made by higher-ups was futile.

Gojo Satoru leaned back in his chair, spread his hands, and looked on with an amused expression, completely unconcerned about the matter.

He looked at the Zen temple across from him and said with a smile:

"Hey, your student is getting expelled, aren't you going to say anything?"

Zenji Jinsuke looked at Gojo Satoru, who was sitting with his legs crossed and watching the show with an expression of amusement, and smiled. "Thank you, Gojo-sensei. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that I have these two students."

"What should we do?"

Zenji Jinsuke's fingers twitched slightly as he tapped the table, lost in thought. "It seems there's only one way. Shall I go and kill all those old men?"

Zen-in Shinsuke's eyes lit up; he thought it was a good idea.

However, when the teachers, including Moth, heard this, they immediately got goosebumps and broke out in a cold sweat.

"No, no, no, Zen Master, there's still room for negotiation. I'll go and discuss it with the higher-ups."

Moth wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He knew that Zenji Shinsuke was no joke.

After all, the other party is someone who can ruthlessly kill even his own clansmen, so what is an old man? It's just a matter of course.

The older men at the top can be quite rigid at times, but without them, many things would fall into chaos.

"Hahahahaha..."

Only Gojo Satoru burst into laughter, "This is a great idea! Kill the old man and we'll become high-ranking officials!"

If we're talking about people who are unhappy with the higher-ups, Gojo Satoru is definitely the first one.

He often argues with those old men at the top.

If it weren't for the fact that the time wasn't right, he would have taken action long ago. A little chaos wouldn't matter, things would be fine in time anyway.

Night Moth quickly stopped Gojo Satoru from continuing, genuinely afraid that the higher-ups would overhear these words.

"Teacher Zen, I will report this to the higher-ups. I will absolutely not expel Kinji and Kirara Hoshi!"

Moth made the decision: no matter what, the higher-ups had to retract their decision, otherwise, something truly terrible could happen.

Out of respect for him as the principal of Tokyo College, the higher-ups will probably give him some face... probably.

Chapter 52 The High-ups' Plan: The Death Penalty?

"Night Moth, recognize your place! You're just the principal of a vocational college!"

"Don't think that just because we made you the principal, you have the right to interfere with our decisions. We can make you the principal, but we can also make you a normal person again!"

A reprimand came from the dimly lit room, and Moth, standing outside the curtain, looked helpless.

He truly didn't expect that, despite being the principal of a vocational college, he would be completely ineffective.

It's truly shameful that you can't even protect your own students.

"My lords, are you really not going to reconsider this decision? The homeroom teacher of those two students seems to be Zen-in Jinsuke. I heard that he has a good relationship with those two students."

I'm afraid that if I expel the two students, he'll blame the school.

Moth tried its best to suppress its anger and communicated calmly with the higher-ups.

If he can't do it alone, then add another person.

We can't just completely disregard the people from the Zen temple, can we? These old folks.

As expected, silence fell upon hearing the name of Zenji Jinsuke.

A moment later, an aged voice rang out, “No matter who those two guys’ teachers are, the rules cannot be broken. They should be expelled if necessary. If he has any objections, let him come and talk to us.”

Clearly, even Zenji Shinsuke's influence was of no use.

Seeing this, the moth had no choice but to give up.

He's done his best, but nothing can be changed...

Afterwards, Moth made a phone call to Zenji Shinsuke to tell him the result, full of apologies.

"That's how it is, Zen Master. I'm really sorry, but these old fogies are acting strangely and they won't even agree to such a small thing."

"It's alright, leave it to me. Didn't you tell me to talk to them? I'll have a good talk with them. I believe there are still some reasonable people among the higher-ups."

Zenji Jinsuke hung up the phone and looked at Kinji and Kirara Hoshino in front of him. "Put your luggage away and do what you need to do. As for what the higher-ups say, just ignore it."

They can't stand anyone using slightly novel techniques. That old man at Leyan Temple is playing with a guitar and casting spells. Why don't they fire him too?

What conservatives are you talking about? They can say whatever they want.

“Teacher of the Zen Temple, you don’t need to cause trouble for us with the higher-ups, it will affect you.”

When Jinji and the other two learned the reason for their expulsion, they were both amused and exasperated. These old men in the higher-ups had plenty of free time, yet they still dared to interfere with them, the students.

However, knowing they had no powerful connections, the two had no intention of seeking justice from higher-ups.

Let's go then. We can find some work outside and we won't starve.

It's not necessary to become a sorcerer.

"Of course it will affect me. If you leave, I'll lose my bonus. This matter is settled. I'll handle things with the higher-ups. You can go about your business."

Having said that, Zen-in Shinsuke left without giving the two a chance to refute him.

He still needs to go to the higher-ups and have a good talk with those old-timers to find out which guy is being so mischievous.

"this......"

Kinji and Kirara exchanged a glance, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

After a moment of silence, Xing Qiluo spoke up: "So the Zen Academy teachers are this reliable at crucial moments."

"Yes, it's true that we wronged our teacher to stand up against the higher-ups for the sake of ordinary people like us."

Kinji felt somewhat guilty.

Previously, Zen-in Shinsuke basically left them to their own devices, giving them an unreliable impression. Unexpectedly, they proved to be incredibly helpful at a crucial moment.

Even if it means going against the higher-ups, we must protect them.

In reality, that's not the case. Zen-in Jinsuke insisted that besides the fact that the other person was his student, there was another reason: he would receive a generous bonus after the two of them graduated.

Of course, that's not the point. The point is that he doesn't want to see Gojo Satoru's face mocking him.

Only one day has passed.

The higher-ups immediately rescinded the dismissal of Kinji and Kirara Hoshino.

In the dimly lit room, an old man angrily smashed a bottle on the table.

"How dare he?!"

The others remained silent. The threat they had just received made them realize that their opponent had always been the same tyrant who would kill even his own people without hesitation, and had never changed because of his role as a teacher.

One entire wall in the room was cracked and dented like a spider web, a shocking sight, with traces of blood in the middle, indicating that what had just happened was not a dream.

"He must be killed! Death penalty! Sentenced to death! Let Gojo Satoru carry out his execution!!"

The old man flew into a rage, his face turning red with anger, looking like he was about to vomit blood at any moment.

"Calm down. Death penalty? Do you really think Gojo Satoru is 100% confident he can kill him?"

"If he's determined to escape, who can catch him? And when he wants to take revenge on us, it won't be a simple matter."
