The brave Simmel wants to resign

Uruga's hearty laugh.

Wild roses laughed heartily.

Fushiguro Megumi propped her face up with a helpless, bitter smile.

Laughter, classroom, classmates who have shared hardships.

In the classrooms of the first-year students at the vocational college, similar scenes have played out countless times.

The mission to exorcise cursed spirits, and the bonds formed in the process, may well begin a new story centered around these three individuals.

It's like that big double-page spread at the end of the first volume of a comic book.

Warm and cozy.

but.....

—To be precise, there should be four people in the classroom.

[Inside the tuberosity of Polygonum cuspidatum]

Sukuna, dressed in a kimono:............

(What are these brats talking about?)

Su Nuo pouted.

(After I go out and slaughter these brats, I'll go look for their so-called 'comics'.)

[Click—Bang!]

Just then, the door was pushed open.

"Children, I'm back!"

Gojo Satoru strode in, his face still bearing that unreliable smile.

"Wow, working overtime in meetings must be tough! Hey? What are you guys talking about? You're laughing so happily?"

Wild Rose raised her hand, "We're talking about who's more handsome, Gojo Satoru or Kakashi."

Gojo Satoru immediately curled his lip and raised his chin smugly, "So what do you guys think?"

Wild Rose: "Is that even a question?"

Gojo Satoru: "As expected?"

Wild Rose: "Kakashi-sensei is definitely more handsome."

"What!!"

Gojo Satoru flew into a rage and turned to look at Fukuro Megumi.

"Hui! What do you say—"

"Kakashi (immediate answer)"

"That was a really fast answer!?!" Gojo Satoru exclaimed in surprise, turning sharply to Itadori. "Yujin probably just thinks I'm cooler!"

"........."

Yuhito hesitated for a moment, then scratched his head.

Sometimes.

Silence itself is an answer.

However, Gojo Satoru was the only one who could not accept this answer.

"what!!!!"

With his hands hanging down, he suddenly yelled like a groundhog, and ran out of the classroom as soon as he entered, rapidly tapping the screen to make a phone call.

【Beep beep beep】

Hello? Teacher?

Da da da da...

Swah——

The classroom door was pushed open again, and Simmel walked in, looking down the corridor with her head tilted to the side.

He turned to look at the students, pointing in the direction Gojo Satoru had run off in.

"What's wrong with Wu Tiao? I just saw him running while calling Yi Gu."

Japanese knotweed, wild rose, Megumi Fushiguro: ".........."

..........

After explaining the situation, Simmel nodded in understanding.

"Honestly, even for something as trivial as this, Gojo is still not mature enough."

Simmel sighed, then looked up and clapped her hands twice to attract everyone's attention.

"Alright, it's good to be energetic, but don't forget the important thing."

"This exchange meeting has come to a successful conclusion... Although it's a bit of a pity that I couldn't be there to see the whole thing, congratulations to you all."

Wild Rose pouted in dissatisfaction, Hadana laughed awkwardly, and Fushiguro Megumi pondered.

"It doesn't matter what you're thinking. The purpose of this exchange is to enhance communication between students from the Tokyo and Kyoto schools, and also to help everyone master their own techniques as much as possible."

Simmel shifted her weight to one side, her bangs swaying with her movement, and her smile was gentle.

"The return of the dead is imminent. This is a nationwide disaster. Once the barrier is activated, even your teacher cannot guarantee that he will always be by your side. Therefore, I must tell you—on the battlefield, what matters is not 'strength,' but 'absolute self-understanding.'"

"If you're not strong enough, don't take risks."

"If you're not strong enough, then fight enemies who are weaker than you."

"If you're not strong enough, then run away when necessary."

"These are my suggestions to you, teacher."

The three students looked at each other in bewilderment.

Is it really okay for a sorcerer to say these things?

"of course."

As if guessing what the three were thinking, Simmel added.

"If you encounter a situation where you have to fight someone you need to protect, but you can't beat them, then call out your teacher's name."

"Will the teacher show up?" asked Yuzhang.

"I'll get there as quickly as possible!" Simmel chuckled dryly.

"So it doesn't appear immediately after all!"

"Haha, teachers are human too~ Anyway, delay as much as possible, safety first!" Simmel smiled. "Don't worry if you do something wrong, those are the responsibilities of us adults."

Until you mature, your teacher will take full responsibility.

This absolute will was clearly conveyed to the three people present.

His expression softened involuntarily.

really.

Although Gojo-sensei is also very strong, there's just no way, or rather, her personality just doesn't offer the same kind of comfort as Simmel-sensei.

Ms. Simmel is indeed quite mature...

Just as the three of them closed their eyes and pondered these words—

【Click】

The door lock was closed.

Ok?

Ok?

Ok?

The three of them opened their eyes at the same time, looking at Simmel, who had locked the door from the inside and was clearly smiling, with confusion.

"Teacher?" Huzhang asked tentatively.

"Well, that concludes the notification regarding the return of the dead. Now let's talk about something else," Simmel said with a smile.

"you--"

He squinted and turned to look at the three of them.

"Between Kakashi and your master, who is more handsome?"

"So, even you, teacher, care that much?!"

Chapter 155 [Death Returns, Open]

Japan.

June 30th.

That was the day of the "Summer Exorcism".

The so-called Natsu-no-Kō is a festival held uniformly at all shrines throughout Japan.

Originating from ancient Shinto rituals in Japan and regulated by the "Shrine Headquarters Ritual Standards," it is one of the oldest nationwide purification rites in Japan.

Cleanse yourself of the sins and impurities of the first half of the year, and welcome good fortune in the second half. Pray for freedom from illness and disaster.

Combining traditional Kagura music, lantern parades, and prayer ceremonies... Of course, although there are over 80,000 shrines in Japan, young people today don't care much about these traditions anymore.

But for sorcerers and the Japanese government, this festival is essential.

"Dad~"

"Ok?"

Are we going to be out for this long?
