Chapter 78 School Days

Leaving Board Member’s Office, Kuzuki didn’t immediately go to find Satsuki Kurogiri.

The trouble with Kaori Tachibana had been resolved, but what was Satsuki Kurogiri’s purpose was another matter entirely.

No matter what schemes he had in mind, as long as they didn’t involve Kuzuki, he wouldn’t interfere. After all, Kuzuki was just a teacher…

Later, it seems Kojima Hideo did something to compensate for Tachibana Kaori’s worries and managed to calm her down.

Soon, Tachibana Kaori came to thank him, with Yukino Hayasaka following behind. She stood outside the room, frowning in a huff.

Giving Kuzuki a box of chocolates, Tachibana Kaori sincerely said: “Thank you, Teacher Kuzuki for helping me. This is my small token of gratitude to give you.”

Facing the heartfelt gift from his students, Kuzuki had no reason to refuse.

Taking a bite out of the chocolate, Kuzuki nodded and said: “I’ll take your gift.”

Tachibana Kaori happily bowed and returned to Yukino Hayasaka’s side, holding her arm as she left.

Evening.

Since the Fujou Building incident, Asagami Fujino, Kokutou Azaka, and Seo Shizune have been growing closer. Now they’re almost inseparable.

After finishing their classes for the day, the three of them went to Kuzuki’s place together.

“Oh! Handmade chocolates, Teacher Kuzuki, can I try some?” Kokutou Azaka asked in surprise.

“Hmm.”

Seo Shizune glanced at Fujino with a mischievous grin, saying: “I don’t see how Teacher Kuzuki is still such a skilled person. His chocolates taste really good.”

From the packaging alone, it’s clear this was made by a girl. Though Seo Shizune is just being stubborn and asking that way.

“No, it’s from the students as a gift.”

Kokutou Azaka opened her slightly pouty mouth and said: “Oh! I ate some of it.”

“That’s fine. Since they gave me the gift, I now have the right to possess it. And in my opinion, food is meant to be eaten, so there’s no problem with that.”

After hearing Kuzuki’s words, Kokutou Azaka finally felt at ease and started eating. She doesn’t have a Magic Circuit or fire abilities; her powers are more like an ability that consumes energy. So she prefers high-energy foods. Even if she eats a lot, she won’t get fat because the energy is converted into fat before being consumed.

Seo Shizune nudged Fujino with her elbow and chuckled, saying, “Fujino, do you wonder who gave it to you?”

Asagami Fujino smiled and said, “I’m well aware of Teacher Kuzuki. He wouldn’t do anything meaningless. This is probably a gift from someone after helping a student, so there’s no need to wonder about it.”

She reached out and took a piece of chocolate, popping it into her mouth.

Seo Shizune had intended to play a prank on Fujino but was defeated by Fujino’s flawless response. She giggled and said, “Ugh, you’re right.”

Kuzuki looked at the three of them and suddenly said, “Fujino, Kokutou, I need to check your training progress. Let’s go with me.”

Seo Shizune had no idea Fujino and Kokutou Azaka were Kuzuki’s disciples. She thought they were just people with special abilities like her but had a closer relationship. She gasped, saying, “Training progress? So that’s the daily exercises you do every day? I thought it was just regular training.”

Seo Shizune raised her hand and asked excitedly, “Can I see that too?” She said with a grin, “I’ll keep it secret. Let me see!”

Kuzuki only wanted to check their training progress, not to teach them. Having non-disciple people see it was fine, especially since Seo Shizune and the two had a good relationship and were also mysterious figures herself.

Not denying her request meant agreeing to it.

Seo Shizune bounced with excitement as she followed behind them to their usual training spot.

Reien Girls’ Academy was extremely large, big enough to include a small mountain within its grounds.

Kuzuki usually trained in the northern part of the mountain, where the ridge blocked most of the school’s buildings and thick forests obscured the area. No one would find this hidden spot because it was too secluded and not on any regular paths.

Kokutou Azaka occasionally practiced her fire abilities here, so some trees around were scorched.

First came Azaka’s ability, which she could now perform without gloves. However, to enhance control, she usually practiced with gloves.

“AzoLto!”

Like a song notation, Kokutou Azaka raised her right hand and released five golden flames in an arc shape, mimicking the bloom of a flower before closing them.

The flames landed on a tree 10 meters ahead, instantly burning the bark to reveal white branches.

Kokutou Azaka bit her lip and used a move she had practiced many times but only had a 50% success rate.

“Fire arrow!”

This technique was tailored by Kokutou Azaka, combining Touko’s Scorching Sun Fist with the rune manipulation of “fire” from the runes. It transformed flames into arrow shapes and fired them out.

Reddish-flamed arrows, the moment they appear, scatter intense heat, causing temperatures around them to rise by three or four degrees.

The speed of these fire arrows isn’t particularly fast, but their shooting speed is as swift as lightning.

Only a flash of light in the air and an extended line of flames can be seen—this is due to the speed of the fire arrows being too fast for the human eye to process.

Squeak!

A single sound of impact, and the fire arrows effortlessly pierce through a tree that’s several meters wide before transforming into flames and dissipating into the air.

A large hole with a finger-thick diameter is visible on the trunk of the struck tree. The edges are charred black, and crimson sparks adhere to its surface, silently burning away.

“Wow, that’s awesome···” Seo Shizune claps energetically.

Amid her cheers, Kokutou Azaka wipes sweat from her brow and turns confidently toward him with a smile, saying: “This ultimate move has been a long time in the making. How do you like it, Mr. Kuzuki?”

Mr. Kuzuki nods approvingly: “The shooting speed is good enough, but the formation speed is too slow. Enemies won’t give you that kind of leeway.”

Kokutou Azaka sighs irritably: “I’m well aware of that, Mr. Kuzuki, but I still can’t get it right. Do you have any suggestions?”

……Regarding the construction techniques.

Mr. Kuzuki responds: “No one else but me.”

Skills and moves like that aren’t just naturally grasped, are they? Why do people encounter so many bottlenecks?
