Chapter 932 Preparing for the Great Star Festival
In the conference room of Tokiwadai Middle School, the school's teachers and senior executives of the Tokiwadai Group gathered to hold a meeting during the students' lunch break.

As expected, the meeting's theme was about various matters related to this year's Daihasei Festival.

Unlike the students, who are simply excited about the upcoming sports festival, the Daihasei Festival is a much bigger deal for Tokiwadai Middle School, especially for one of the top five prestigious schools. From the perspective of the school and the group, it is a battlefield without gunpowder!

Whether considering school honor or, more directly, economic interests, this year's Daihasei Festival is crucial for the Tokiwadai Group.

Last year, due to the aftermath of the factional infighting, Misaki Shokuhou was unable to gain a decisive advantage on campus. As a result, Tokiwadai Middle School was unable to fully prepare for the Daihasei Festival, and thus only achieved the second place in the school's rankings, more than 300 points behind Nagato Ueki Academy.

This year will be much better, with the Shokuhou faction dominating the market and even able to mobilize all students in the school if necessary.

In addition, another ace, Misaka Mikoto, has also improved her relationship with Shokuhou Misaki, and they can even be said to get along quite well.

With two Level 5 powerhouses joining forces, along with a group of Level 3 and Level 4 high-level ability users below them, achieving overwhelming success at the Daihasei Festival was a piece of cake.

It's important to understand that the Daihasei Festival is a special sports festival themed around "superpowers," so the side with stronger superpowers naturally has a greater advantage.

"Our school has two Level 5 superpowered individuals. As long as they can work together sincerely, surpassing Changdian Shangji Academy this year and winning the first place should be no problem, right?" the principal said expectantly.

"Ahem!" The head of the teaching department coughed and took over the conversation. "If it were last year, our school's lineup would indeed be considered unique, but this year... at least in terms of top-tier superpowered individuals, we are probably not the strongest."

“And…” The headmistress frowned, then suddenly exclaimed, “Oh…” “A certain high school… I almost forgot about them…”

Two students at a certain high school are Level 5 in their first year! And Accelerator, who is ranked number one, is among them!

There was also Lin Wuming, who was known as the "Nameless Director" and there were even rumors that he was the "Vice Chairman".

"I really don't know what those two guys were thinking of going to a certain high school," the head of the art department couldn't help but complain. "Do they even really need a secondary education?"

Because they have personally taught Level 5, the teachers at Tokiwadai Middle School are the most qualified to speak on this matter.

It's important to know that Tokiwadai Junior High School adheres to an elitist educational philosophy. Although it's only a junior high school, the difficulty and breadth of its curriculum are directly comparable to those of top international universities.

Because everyone is a high-level ability user at level 3 or above, their brain computing ability alone far surpasses that of ordinary people, which is why they are able to keep up with such an exaggerated course.

Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki, both Level 5 students, are outstanding students who far surpass others, even in such an environment.

In terms of curriculum, what truly constrains them are the teachers and the teaching materials.

Therefore, the teachers present generally believed that it was completely meaningless for Accelerator and Lin Wuming to study at a certain high school. "Alright, alright, we can't interfere in other people's school affairs. We just need to do our own thing," Chairman Kaiyuan, who rarely attends meetings, said gently. "Besides, strictly speaking, even our Tokiwadai, in the eyes of Level 5 espers, is probably no different from an ordinary school, right?"

"President, please don't say that. The gap between our school and that high school is an objective fact," the principal said earnestly. "With a major battle imminent, please don't let morale waver."

"I was just speaking from the heart, please don't take it to heart." Chairman Haiyuan wasn't angry and said calmly, "However, I still want to remind you that as educators, we should not treat superpowered individuals as ordinary children. Please remember, apart from things like life experience that require time to accumulate, those children are even more outstanding than us."

Seeing the chairman suddenly become serious and earnest, all the teachers present sat up straight, including the principal. No one dared to disobey this gentle and smiling old man.

Tokiwadai Middle School is ultimately a private school, and its true controller is none other than the chairman of the board of directors, Kaiyuan, who sits at the head of the table.

"Don't be so nervous," the former chairman of the board of directors of Haiyuan said with a wry smile. "As I have said before, I will not interfere in the operation of the school; I will leave it entirely to you all."

With a soft sigh, Chairman Haiyuan thought for a moment and then explained, "Actually, it's my grandson—as you all know, that kid Haiyuan Mitsuki—who is a Level 4 Nen user. As his relative, I can directly feel the huge difference between a Level 4 esper and an ordinary human, which is why I felt compelled to speak out."

Upon hearing this explanation, the teachers present breathed a sigh of relief—it turned out he was just showing off his own child; they had thought the chairman was going to question Tokiwadai Middle School's teaching philosophy.

Realizing that the teachers present did not truly understand his meaning, Chairman Haiyuan simply shook his head slightly without further explanation.

Because these teachers spend almost all their time with their students who have superpowers, they have become so engrossed in their own situation that they are blinded by their own circumstances.

As the leader of the entire Tokiwadai Group, Chairman Kaihara often has to deal with adults who are not espers; after returning home, he can also come into contact with his grandson, Kaihara Mitsuki, who is already a Level 4 esper.

The contrast made the feelings of the former chairman of Haiyuan all the more profound.

In his view, Level 5 is Level 5, and it has nothing to do with the school he attends. They are like gold, able to shine wherever they are.

Therefore, even attending an ordinary school that was once unremarkable will not prevent Level 5 students from demonstrating their overwhelming strength.

The meaning of the chairman of Haiyuan was also very simple: to tell the teachers below not to underestimate the two Level 5s just because "a certain high school" is an unknown school.

However, after listening to them, I found that they only looked down on "a certain high school", but did not underestimate Level 5, which was enough.

As the leader of the Tokiwadai Group, Chairman Kai naturally attaches great importance to this year's Daihasei Festival. The benefits to the entire group from the school's increased reputation are obvious.

Especially after a year of adjustment, Tokiwadai Middle School, which now has two Level 5 students, truly has the strength to surpass Nagatoshi Kamikaku Academy and claim the top spot.

As long as we can get first place in the school's points ranking, nothing else matters; the stocks of all the companies under the Tokiwadai Group alone will surge!
