"A new club application …?"
When Mayumi Shichinusa received the application form from Fangzheng, her expression was exactly the same as when the other four girls listened to Fangzheng — — a look of confusion.
"That's right. No one said that a vice president can't form a club, right?"
"No, of course that's not the problem. But Harukino, you have to be a vice president, a disciplinary committee member, and also lead a club. Isn't that a bit too difficult?"
Mayumi Shichinusa voiced her opinion with some doubt. Akatsuki Nakano, who was like a small animal, also timidly interjected.
"Also, according to the rules, a new club needs at least twenty people. Including you, there are only five people …."
"Oh, then I won't apply for a club. There shouldn't be a problem with a club of the same interest, right? I remember the minimum limit for a club of the same interest is five people."
Fangzheng gave up without hesitation, leaving the three girls in front of him speechless.
"A club of the same interest is not a problem."
The calmest of the three, Suzuto Ichihara, took Fangzheng's application form and carefully checked it. She showed a puzzled expression.
"But the Easternmost Magic Research Association …. The main activity of the association is to conduct research and innovation in magic …. Isn't the content of this activity a bit too broad? What exactly is it about? "
"It's called research and understanding, but it's actually just a revision of the curriculum."
Fangzheng shrugged.
"As you all know, second year students can only receive online education. They can't receive personal guidance from a teacher. First year students can receive guidance, but the number of teachers is far from enough to meet the needs of the students. It just so happens that all four of them have the interest and need to learn, so I'll treat it as a private tuition class to help them understand and digest the content of the lessons. "
"But Harukino, aren't you also …. Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything. What about innovation?"
"It's simple. It means exactly what it says."
Fangzheng spread his hands.
"That's the main goal of the Easternmost Magic Research Association: to create new magic that can be included in the INDEX."
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, Mashumi Shichikusa, Zizo Nakano, and Suyin Ichihara were all stunned.
The so-called INDEX was, of course, not the 103,000 porn books in the Forbidden World. Instead, it was a list of the names of the magic spells in the Encyclopedia of Magic produced by the National Magic University. If one could be selected to log into the INDEX, it meant that the person involved had created a brand new magic spell. This could be considered a great honor for the researchers who developed magic spells.
Of course, it wasn't that easy to select a spell. In Fangzheng's world, this was basically equivalent to a scholar proposing a new theory or technique that was recognized by everyone. It was not as simple as the Guinness Book of World Records, which could be easily entered.
"This …"
"Everyone has to have a goal. I think this goal is pretty good."
"But, but Mr. Harukino, if it's just an enthusiast club, you won't get any funding from the school, you won't have your own club activity room, and you won't have the right to use the equipment..."
Azusa Nakano reminded timidly again. Although she was curled up like a newborn puppy and looked very uneasy, she still voiced her opinion.
"Oh, that's not a problem. I remember there's an abandoned warehouse behind the school, right? I plan to use it as the club activity center. "
Fangzheng had obviously thought about it before, but Shichijusa shook her head.
"That's not the same, Mr. Harukino. The Student Council doesn't have the authority to deal with the school's facilities, and as an enthusiast club, you can't get approval to use it."
"It doesn't matter. I've prepared everything."
As he spoke, Fangzheng took out another file and handed it to Shichijusa. Shichijusa took the file suspiciously and opened it. She took out a piece of paper and read it in a low voice.
"Proof of Transfer of the Right to Use and Ownership of Warehouse No. 9. With the special approval of the school council, the ownership and jurisdiction of warehouse No. 9 on the school grounds will be transferred to the Far East Magic Research Society from today onwards... Signed by the Ichikawa Council... Harukino..."
At this point, Shichijusa stopped. She looked at the signature in her hand doubtfully, then raised her head to look at Fangzheng.
"Uh... Mr. Harukino? What's this signature...? "
"Oh, I signed it, of course, because I'm also a member of the school council."
"... Huh? Ahhhhh!!!! "
The three girls were shocked when they heard this.
"Mr. Harukino, you're... a member of the council?"
"That's right. That's why I've reached an agreement with the council. As you can see, President Shichijusa, the supplementary clause of the agreement also states that in return for the transfer of ownership, the Far East Magic Research Society must produce at least one magic research result in the name of Ichikawa every year..."
"Ah, there is indeed..."
At that moment, Mayumi Shichopusa appeared a little shaken and flustered. This was very normal. Although Fangzheng's identity had always been mysterious to them, they would never have imagined that a student who had just entered high school was a member of the high school's board of governors. Typically, the members of the board of governors were famous family members or high-ranking government officials. Ordinary people naturally didn't have the right to enter the board of governors.
Even a student council president like Shichijusa had no right to question the decision of the council.
"But the budget..."
"I'll pay for it myself."
"... That's not a small amount, is it?"
Looking at the budget at the end of the document, Shichijusa sucked in a breath of cold air. Although the council was indeed willing to hand over the warehouse to Fangzheng, they would not allocate funds for the maintenance, construction and equipment purchase of the warehouse from the school budget. This way, it would be a huge sum of money.
But for Fangzheng...
"It doesn't matter. It's just a little bit of money. It's useless to keep it if I don't spend it."
After all, the FBI had plenty of money. Fangzheng did not need to pay for it himself.
"..."
The three girls were completely speechless when they felt the aura of a tycoon.
"But this way, you'll have a lot of work to do, right? The work of the Student Council, the work of the disciplinary committee, the club activities... Are you sure it's okay?"
Suzuka Ichihara coughed and tried to bring the topic back on track.
"Of course it's okay. After the club activity center is built, I don't plan to leave the school. That way, I won't have to worry about not having enough time to deal with the Student Council's affairs."
"... It's fine as long as you think it's okay."
In the face of this kind of rich and powerful guy who acted recklessly, Ichihara Suzane completely raised her hands in surrender, and Nakano Azusa also looked at Mayumi Shichikusa next to him with trepidation. The latter was silent for a moment, then sighed.
"In that case, the Student Council agrees to your application, Harukano. From today onwards, the Easternmost Magic Research Association will be officially recognized by the Student Council. But unlike clubs, the Easternmost Magic Association does not have the right to join the Society Alliance... Do you need me to explain it to Juumonji? "
"There's no need."
Fangzheng shook his head.
"The Society Alliance is mainly responsible for the distribution of funds for each club. The Easternmost Magic Research Association is only a Easternmost Magic Association. The funds are provided by me, so there's no need to join the Society Alliance."
"That's good, but..."
Shichijusa picked up the application again.
"I don't want to say this, but the two applicants are second-year students.... Can they really help with the research of new magic?"
In fact, this was not just Shichijusa's question.
"Can we really help in this regard?"
After school, Fangzheng asked the four girls to gather at the coffee shop again. After learning that the application for the Easternmost Magic Association was approved, Erika Chiba immediately asked. Compared to her usual energetic and cheerful appearance, she seemed a little nervous and uneasy at this moment.
"I'm grateful that you're willing to teach us, Harukano, but I don't think Miyagi and I can help much with the creation of new magic..."
It was no wonder that even Erika Chiba was so uneasy. After all, it was not an easy task to create a new magic. Asking them to participate in it was as frightening as asking ordinary high school students to participate in Nobel Prize -level research.
"Of course you can help."
Fangzheng leaned back in his chair and stared at the two.
"Do you know the necessary conditions for magic to be registered in the INDEX?"
"Necessary conditions?"
"Secret, unique spells, and spells outside the system are excluded. To put it simply, spells that can be registered in the INDEX are spells that can be 'widely used', so it requires cooperation from all aspects. Not only first-year students with high magic power, but second-year students with low magic power must also be included. If you can use it as freely as first-year students, only then can you prove that the invented magic is' universal '."
With that said, Fangzheng chuckled.
"In other words, you're my cute lab rats.... Are you willing to accept this?"
"... It's getting harder and harder to accept. So, what are we going to do? According to what you said, we have to submit a spell that can be registered in the INDEX every year, right? "
"Of course, I already have a clue."
Fangzheng crossed his hands in front of him and narrowed his eyes at the four people in front of him.
"You should know about the 'three major technical problems of weight magic', right?"
"Of course."
The Northmont Lion, who had always been a man of few words, immediately nodded when he heard this topic.
"The realization of a universal flying spell, the realization of a gravity-controlled nuclear fusion furnace, and the realization of a simulated permanent mechanism due to infinite inertia."
"That's right."
Fangzheng smiled and raised a finger.
"And our goal this year is the first technical problem — the realization of a universal flying spell."
"... Ahhhh!!!?"
Hearing this, the four girls could not help but scream and jump up.
