What Mashimi Shicho did not know was that ever since the Battle of the Nine Schools, Fangzheng had gained the attention of the Ten Masters.
The reason was simple. It was easy to get a thousand troops, but difficult to find a good general.
Although mages did have great power, their social status was not high. In this world, magic didn't just appear out of nowhere. There had been mages in the past, but at that time, mages existed naturally. After scientific principles could be analyzed, modern mages were almost all the result of genetic modification.
For example, take the Ten Masters. Ichijo, Niki, Sanshi, Siye, Wulun, Liuzu, Shicho, Yidai, Jiushima, and Juumonji. Did this not seem like a coincidence? How could it be so easy to gather all ten families, and each family's name added up to a number from one to ten?
The truth was that the Ten Masters, including the Shibu 18 families and other numbered families, were actually artificial humans born from genetic modification experiments. Their family names evolved from the code names of these experimental targets.
This was what the human supremacists were against. Just like the new humans in the Gundam world, they believed that these people who had been genetically modified and possessed magic power were not considered humans.
However, there were still differences between the two sides.
Although the new humans in the Gundam had intelligence, reaction speed, and so on that far surpassed ordinary people, in terms of individual strength, they were no different from humans. If one did not drive the Gundam, one could knock it to the ground with a brick.
However, mages were different. Mages had unparalleled power. They could even prevent the outbreak of a thermonuclear war. From this point of view, mages had almost become part of the strategic weapons of the country.
Therefore, unlike the new humans in the Gundam, the government would not give up on mages. It was like other countries had nuclear weapons. If you destroyed your own nuclear weapons, wouldn't it be the same as asking others to attack you?
On the other hand, the government could not excessively agitate the people, so it was basically in a state of muddling through.
For the Japanese mages, they also hoped to change this situation. In the past, there were not many mages, but now, as Mashimi Shicho's father said, the number of mages was increasing, so there was a "spillover effect." In the past, Magicians married among themselves, but now, many Magicians chose to marry ordinary people and have children.
The North Mountain Xiu was a good example. Her father was an industrialist. Because he fell in love with her mother, who was a magician, he desperately pursued her. In the end, they got married and gave birth to the North Mountain Xiu. As a result, the North Mountain Xiu had magical powers.
More and more such incidents occurred, which meant that there were more and more "hybrid" Mages who were not under the control of the Ten Teachers Clan, and their relationship with ordinary people was much closer than the Ten Teachers Clan. In this sense, the friction would be even more obvious.
Therefore, the world of magic urgently needed a "king."
He was a powerful, far-sighted, decisive king who could lead the magic world forward.
This was not a low requirement. It wasn't that they didn't have powerful mages and intelligent tacticians, but unlike them, something like a domineering aura... could be said to be innate.
Why was it that although the news of Jiang Hui's defeat attracted the attention of the Ten Teachers Clan, no one protested against it?
Apart from the fact that Ichigo Shouki was a member of the Ichigo family, the other reason was that many people thought that Ichigo Shouki lacked that kind of "domineering aura". As the heir of the Ichigo family and the future leader of the Ten Teachers Clan, his performance was too "elegant". He lacked that kind of domineering aura of "who else but me can do it?" In many people's eyes, Ichigo Shouki was too calm and steady, but not aggressive enough.
Therefore, when Fangzheng defeated Ichigo Shouki in the "Secret Monument Decoding" battle of the Nine Schools Tournament, the power and domineering aura he showed immediately made many people's eyes light up.
But then again...
"Mayumi, do you know what Haruka's magic system is?"
Shicho's father looked at his daughter and asked.
After that, the Ten Masters Clan did a lot of investigations on Fangzheng, including his background (which was naturally faked by Fangzheng). It could be said that they knew everything about him. But there was still a big mystery, and that was what kind of magic system Fangzheng used. In the Nine Schools Tournament, although Fangzheng showed unparalleled and overwhelming strength, none of the magicians present could understand what magic he used. Even after inviting the military and the patriarchs of the Ten Teachers Clan to come and study it carefully, they could not come to any conclusion.
"I'm sorry, Father. I don't have any clue either. Haruka has never revealed any information about this."
Faced with her father's question, Shicho Shouki shook her head.
"Is that so … Hmm, I understand."
Shicho's father did not seem surprised by his daughter's answer.
"Then, let's see how far he can go."
Although Shicho Shouki thought that Fangzheng's method was quite reckless, she had to admit that Fangzheng's method was really effective.
Fangzheng did not let the second-year students confront those annoying human supremacists head-on. On the contrary, he wanted the second-year students to blend into the crowd and immediately call the police if they saw anyone suspicious.
This was also a way to make good use of his identity. If it was a student from No.1 High who called the police, the other party would find all kinds of excuses to shirk responsibility. But if it was a "kind ordinary citizen" who felt that the person was suspicious and called the police for help, then the other party would really have nothing to say.
After a few days, the number of those sneaky people suddenly decreased. They could still find an excuse when facing the police once or twice, but after three or four times, even if they found another excuse, the police would find that there was really something wrong with them. When that happened, it would be really troublesome to bring them back to the police station.
Of course, there were also some people who refused to change and wanted to make some big news. These people were directly dragged into an alley and beaten up, then ran away. There was no shortage of such delinquents among the second-year students chosen by Fangzheng, and they were already proficient in this field. Not to mention that they had the school's permission to do this, so it was even more outrageous.
Not only that, because of this incident, the relationship between the first-year students and second-year students became a lot closer. Originally, both sides disliked each other, but now that they had the second-year students to protect them, the first-year students no longer had to go to school in fear. This also made them feel grateful to the second-year students. There were even some anecdotes of second-year students rescuing first-year students who were harassed by human supremacists, and then the two sides began to date each other.
"Why did it turn out like this …"
As for Mayumi Shichirou, she was about to die of depression.
"Hahaha, looks like you're very disappointed."
Seeing his good friend lying on the table as if she wanted to kill herself with a piece of tofu, Watanabe Mori also teased with a smile.
"Isn't this a good thing? Not only does it ensure the safety of our school, it also promotes the relationship between the first-year students and the second-year students. "
"But it shouldn't be like this. This … isn't right."
Shichiusa Mayumi was truly depressed. This was because from her point of view, Fangzheng had used unorthodox means. He wasn't honorable at all. And it was these means that she felt were inappropriate, but they actually produced unexpected results. She had worked so hard as the student council president for so long, but to no avail, but Fangzheng easily solved the problem.
This filled Mayumi Shicusa with an indescribable sense of frustration.
"That's right. I didn't expect him to use those human supremacists to arouse the students' hatred of a common enemy, so as to pull them closer together … If he really wants to, he can even use his enemies. From a certain point of view, Haruka Kasugano is really scary."
However, Fangzheng himself, who was being nagged at by Mayumi Shicusa and Watanabe Mori, was not happy at all.
"… Why do you want me to do it?"
Looking at the young teacher in front of him, Fangzheng was completely speechless.
There was an overwhelming shortage of talented mages, so the magic teachers in No.1 High School were not hired for life like in other schools. On the contrary, they were all tutors or professors in universities who were parachuted into No.1 High School to teach. Because of this, the teaching strength of magic schools was not perfect. This was also the reason why second-year students could only study on their own. Even first-year students had to wait until they had completed their research in university before they could get guidance from a teacher. Naturally, second-year students had no hope of getting guidance from a teacher.
This time, the reason Fangzheng was asked to participate in the upcoming thesis competition in Yokohama as the representative of No.1 High School.
"You can have as many students as you want in the School of Magical Engineering."
"You must be joking, Haruka Kasugano."
However, the young teacher sitting in front of Fangzheng was not moved at all. He just looked at him with a smile.
"You're the one who collaborated with Beishan Industries to come up with the 'Generalization of Flight Magic' and the 'Automatic Calculation Core', two papers that shocked the entire magic world. With you here, there's no way our No.1 High School can casually submit another paper to the competition."
"So you want me to be in charge of the thesis … You should know that I'm still the student council president, right? I have a lot of things to do."
"The school believes in you, Haruka Kasugano."
However, the other party obviously had no intention of listening to Fangzheng's explanation.
"Besides, if you can perform well in this thesis competition, the school will agree to your previous proposal."
"… Face is really the death of a person."
"Haha, I'm just in charge of passing on the message."
"It doesn't matter."
Fangzheng shrugged.
"I'm not the one who's going to die anyway. Since you've decided, don't regret it."
"I'll leave it to you, Haruka Kasugano."
After a few words, Fangzheng left the office and returned to the classroom. Sibo Shenxue was not there. These days, she ran away faster than a rabbit after class. Fangzheng guessed that she might have gone home with her brother, but for Fangzheng, this was not important.
"Yes."
Soon, Fangzheng came to his seat and greeted Kitayama Ki.
"What's up? Haruka Kasugano? "
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Kitayama Ki, who was chatting with Mitsui Suika, raised his head and looked at him.
"How about going on a date with me after school?"
"Huh?!"
However, in the face of Fangzheng's invitation, Mitsui Suika, who was sitting next to her, screamed and jumped up.
