I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 334 International Situation
Highly skilled in sorcery

Principal's office.

"Is Australia unable to hold on?"

"Yes, Principal You, what do you think?"

When asked by Director Zhuya, You shrugged.

"I sit and watch."

"If you ask me about a war involving tens of millions of people, then I would ask 'Takemikazuchi' to take action and plow the battlefield."

Ah this
Hearing Yu's simple and blunt answer,

Sitting on the sofa, Director Zhu Ya couldn't help but raise her hand and wipe away non-existent cold sweat.

Indeed, with Yu Jun's abilities, no matter how many troops you have, just summoning the 'divine incarnation' is enough to turn the world upside down.

But it is clear that the multinational coalition does not have such means: or to be more precise, the 'Commonwealth International Organization' is not capable of resisting the Nine-Tailed Fox's forces.

Even with the support of a number of Western European countries that were not on good terms but were not on good terms with each other, such as France and Germany, they still suffered repeated defeats and were routed. Modern armies could easily deal with ordinary monsters and chimeras, but they would suffer huge casualties when facing 'Black Flame'.

What if we encounter those powerful demons from the Nine-Tailed Fox's forces?

Hurry up and leave your last words, then raise the internationally recognized hand gesture; at least you can die with some dignity.

The Commonwealth?

Upon hearing this word, You touched her chin.

"Is it fair to say that the former 'empire on which the sun never sets' truly lived up to its name?"

After World War I, England was in decline and had almost lost control of its colonies and protectorates.

In an attempt to salvage its declining fortunes, England was forced to recognize the Dominion's independence in domestic and foreign affairs in 1926. The Dominion and the mother country formed the Commonwealth by 'shared allegiance to the (English) King,' with equal rights and no subordination to each other.

The Commonwealth was formally established: it was not a country, nor did it have a central government; it was merely an international organization.

The King of England is the nominal monarch and head of state of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth has no governing body, and the United Kingdom and its member states exchange high commissioners as diplomatic representatives.

Don't underestimate this so-called 'federation'; it's indeed almost useless in peacetime. But when a crisis truly strikes, these member states will still unite: after all, they are still considered 'of the same origin'.

Of the 56 independent countries in the Commonwealth, more than half are small countries that are just there to make up the numbers.

However, some of them are still "large countries": England, Bharat, Australia, and Canada.
That's right, India's Barat is also part of the Commonwealth, and a few years ago, a member of that ethnicity even became the Prime Minister of England. As the saying goes, "The true line of the Commonwealth lies in India." If Barat hadn't sent out millions of soldiers, how could Australia, with a population of only 2600 million, possibly withstand a force of tens of millions of Nine-Tailed Foxes?
Yes, the number of bishoun is still growing;

According to experts' estimates, it may have soon broken through the 100 million mark.

The hundreds of millions of flying supernatural beings, even the weakest 'weak dog' level, are still beyond the reach of ordinary people.

From today's perspective, the strength of that 'Blood Hakama' is not considered formidable among the great demons; however, the ever-expanding number of 'shikigami' in his possession is enough to make the world take notice.

what?
Why is America not included in the Commonwealth?
Of course, it's because the 'rebellious son' America rebelled against the Heavenly Gang, and more than two hundred years ago he defeated the English tax collectors and army, causing them to flee in disarray.

Regardless, Australia is part of the Commonwealth. With America preoccupied with its civil war, England has no choice but to step in and organize the armies of numerous Commonwealth nations to go to Australia to jointly resist the Nine-Tailed Fox, humanity's greatest enemy.

Historically, this has happened many times, and it was originally the duty and obligation of the federal government.

However, decades of peace have caused many people to forget about war.

"Although the Commonwealth is described as 'winning every battle' in the reports, the front line is constantly shifting backward, and experts estimate that the casualties are no less than one million."

For someone as busy as Director Zhuya to take the time to come to You's place, the conversation must be about international affairs and major human events.

“Nicaea has almost universal conscription, but they are still just ordinary people.”

Between the Philippines and Australia lies Nicaea.

With an area of ​​1913578.68 square kilometers, consisting of approximately 17508 islands, it is the world's largest archipelagic nation, a true 'nation of a thousand islands'. Its population is 2.76 million; however, after deducting the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled, only about 20 million young and able-bodied individuals are truly capable of fighting.

The British alliance's defenses were located in Nicaea: if they waited until they reached Australia, then the only option left would be a massive migration.

The Nine-Tailed Fox forces take no prisoners! Once their defenses are breached, there is no possibility of 'guerrilla warfare'.

"If Nicaea is defeated, Australia will also have a hard time resisting."

"Yu-kun, to be honest—I don't really care whether they live or die."

Director Zhuya bluntly stated that he had already exhausted all his efforts to maintain the precarious situation in the island nation, so how could he possibly manage the affairs of other countries?

"But the problem is, we all know about the Nine-Tailed Fox's 'resurrection' mechanism."

Murder and soul-stealing!
Ordinary souls are the worst, followed by the 'strongest' among all mortals;
The souls of the extraordinary are the best, which is why the 'Blood Hakama' triggered a series of extraordinary events.

Cultivate 'superhumans' as sacrifices! Even if they are enemies, it doesn't matter, because in the end they will all become nutrients to revive other 'tails'.

"Even though Nicaea is constantly evacuating civilians,"

"The daily casualties are still so high that it's difficult to even keep track of them."

"If this continues, and the Nine-Tails' forces continue to revive the other tails, perhaps one day—"

Even the Sea Kingdom couldn't withstand it.

While the young lord of the Sea Kingdom, Ōtakemaru, is undoubtedly invincible, the true 'leader' of the Nine-Tailed Fox's forces has yet to make his appearance.

White-faced, golden-haired Tamamo-no-Mae!
If that demon king were to be resurrected, who in this world could withstand him?
I'm afraid even Yu-kun in front of me...
"Don't panic,"

In response, You calmly raised her hand and pressed down.

"The Sea Kingdom is not that simple. Besides the young master Ōtakemaru, there is another one who has not yet appeared."

"Suzuka Gozen?"

Director Zhu Ya pushed up her non-prescription glasses.
In the island nation's legends, this goddess was the one who fell for the first Shogun's "handsome man trap"; however, in the mouths of several high-ranking officials of Suzuka Mountain in the sea kingdom, she was referred to as the young master's elder sister, and there was no resentment in their words, but rather only respect.

"Does Yu-kun know anything about this 'Suzuka Gozen'?"

Faced with Director Zhuya's probing question, You Gao smiled enigmatically without saying a word.

I--

I hate Onmyoji the most!
"Director, since you are worried about the situation at the front, why don't you take some men to help?"

"I?!"

Director Zhu Ya, sitting on the sofa, pointed at herself in surprise, looking utterly incredulous.

"I'm going to confront the Nine-Tailed Demon?"

real or fake
"Don't underestimate yourself,"

Yu raised her hand and pointed to 'Explosive Blade' leaning against the sofa.

"You're someone who obtained a transcendent sword, so show some backbone!"

"The swords of Mr. Daodaozhai are used by people who are at least at the Tiger level."

"If you sit in the office all day like this, even a knife will cry!"

It turned out that Director Zhuya had come to seek advice from You, but she ended up getting herself into trouble.

However, upon closer examination, it does make sense, except:
"The extraordinary disasters of that island nation—"

If Director Zhuya were to be dispatched, he certainly wouldn't be alone; he would take away a large number of special police officers who possess the 'Uranium Light Wave Fist'. In that case, the island's supernatural forces would be depleted, and who would deal with the large number of evil spirits in the wild?
"Let the students go."

Yu waved his hand dismissively, indicating that he had already made up his mind.

“In addition to learning knowledge, my ‘High School of Curses’ naturally includes practical training.” “In the future, when the government receives reports of supernatural disasters, it can entrust the school to handle them: with so many students, we can’t let them sit idle.”

?

"That's one way,"

Director Zhu Ya was taken aback, then nodded thoughtfully.

This 'High School of Spellcasting' is home to a large number of extraordinary individuals, including the powerful, the lone wolf, and others.

These superhumans don't usually obey government orders, but if it's a combat mission assigned by the 'principal,' no one would refuse: as long as it's not asking them to challenge opponents of a higher level.

In this way, letting these 'unruly' supernatural beings handle the supernatural disasters on the island nation would free up the Supernatural Countermeasures Department to go to Nicaea to resist the Nine-Tails' forces. However, the Nine-Tails' forces consist of multiple powerful demons, and the Supernatural Countermeasures Department alone—

"The superhumans over there won't just sit idly by and wait to die,"

"And then there's the Sea Kingdom as a mainstay; as for the specifics, that's your question."

It just so happens that Qiongmei and her friends are cosplaying the Akatsuki organization.

Let them go to the battlefield and train: since they are all clones anyway, there's no need to worry about casualties.

This method makes it difficult to cultivate truly strong individuals; but Yu didn't expect them to be particularly strong anyway, so she just treated it as an extracurricular activity.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Cooperation with the government?"

After Director Zhuya left, Youren summoned Qiongmei and began arranging work.

"right,"

"Director Takeya will lead most of the members of the Extraordinary Countermeasures Department to the battlefield. From now on, this school will be responsible for the extraordinary disasters in the island nation."

Yu himself is sending out so many clones every day to cause trouble and practice his skills, so why should other superhumans have time to relax?

Yu had already planned all of this from the moment she agreed to become the principal of the 'High School of Cursed Arts'.

Students saving the world – this is a must-try island nation specialty!

Well, although the students at this school,
Many of them are over the age limit.

"Replacing courses with practical experience is indeed a good approach."

Qiong Mei nodded and accepted the task.

"I will start organizing a 'student council' with Hina and be responsible for distributing tasks."

Hina Hongo is the mastermind behind the 'Kengan-kai' and the suspicious 'Human Relief Association' with hundreds of thousands of members. Arranging a few thousand students is a piece of cake for her. As for Sora, she can do the job just as well as long as she is not facing real people: don't forget, she is also a hardcore otaku.

You are at ease letting them organize the 'student council' and handle the handover and assignment of tasks with the government.

"very good,"

"And you and Xiaoying,"

"You can also use your clone to go over there when you have time."

Just as Yu was adding human forces to the battle in the southern seas, the people on this battlefield were also actively looking for solutions.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Mambahau Island,

This true 'front line' near the southern island of the Libyan National Liberation Army has been recaptured.

The island is covered with towering gun emplacements and watchtowers, with various anti-aircraft guns pointing diagonally into the sky in astonishing numbers; no military fortress in human history has ever been so exaggerated, because such a dense array of anti-aircraft weapons is a complete waste.

However, faced with the overwhelming numbers of the monstrous creatures that could blot out the sky when they set out, the architects clearly wished they could fill the entire island nation with anti-aircraft defenses.

"Hahaha~~"

At the island's dock, a warship flying the English flag had just come to rest;
There was a three-meter-tall little giant, laughing loudly as he strode down the landing ladder; as he walked, he waved to the green-haired man on the dock.

"It's nice to meet you again, first mate of the Luffy Adventurer's Crew."

“Teach,”

Zorro, with two tungsten steel short sticks tucked into his waistband, raised his eyelids slightly.

"And General Horatio Nelson."

"plz follow me."

This island was taken over by three 'Shichibukai' working together; Luffy's adventure team didn't want the land, the people, or the factories.

They only intended to use this place as an outpost for attacking the Nine-Tails' forces; but how could the other two 'Shichibukai' possibly want both of them? Luffy's strength is undeniable.

Once he enters combat mode, his combat power skyrockets as the 'doors' he speaks of keep opening; he has now opened 'four doors', and no one knows where his limit is, nor is anyone willing to experience it for themselves.

That speed, that power, a true 'numerical monster'!
In this situation, even if it was just as a gesture of goodwill, a large area was left for Luffy's adventure team.

"Please come in."

There were many, and Zorro led the two to a place:
Resort pool!

That's right, it's the resort's seaside pool; you can see groups of people gathered in the pool from all sides.

After consuming the extraordinary pearl, one will gain the ability to transform into the 'Sea Kingdom'; at the same time, both psychologically and physiologically, these extraordinary individuals will become more intimate with 'seawater'.

In addition, all the abilities of the 'Sea Kingdom' are water-based; in places with abundant water resources, the power of their abilities is naturally greater; so it is perfectly normal to choose this place as the location for the gathering.

"Hahaha, Old Man Song."

Teach laughed and waved to the middle-aged man in the floral shirt who was lying in the pool as if taking a bath;
In the pool where the middle-aged man was, a group of muscular superhumans sat in a circle, their appearance immediately conjuring up images of 'a head full of big men'.

“Little sister Annie,”

Then, she turned to look at a little girl sitting by another pool, her feet soaking in it: the girl had a unique hairstyle and an exquisite floral dress.

Surrounding the little girl were meticulously attended butlers, maids, and bodyguards.

"And Brother Roman,"

On a sun lounger next to the third pool, a young man in a suit, red tie, brown sunglasses, and with short blond hair standing up, raised his glass in a gesture of greeting.

Behind him stood a group of men and women in black suits; each wearing sunglasses, exuding a strong 'family' style.

"Plus Luffy"

Beside the fourth pool, a few boys and girls sat; the fewest in number, yet the strongest!
Because of the one-armed boy sitting in the center.

Teach looked around, his beard twitching.

"A gathering of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but unfortunately one person is missing."

"That person won't come."

The blond young man in the suit, referred to as 'Roman,' spoke.
"No one knows his whereabouts, and no one knows his identity, not even KYG."

The last 'Shichibukai' that Roman mentioned was the person who obtained the 'Kusanagi Sword'—given her habits, she naturally wouldn't participate in any gatherings; she didn't even care about the title of 'Shichibukai'.

"Alright, now that everyone's here—"

At this point, Teach stepped aside:
"Next, it is General Horatio Nelson's turn to speak."
