Chapter 56 Unfriendly senior executives
"Principal Noctua, who are the senior officials?"

Walking on the way to the director's room where the senior officials were, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but ask Noctua Masamichi.

Gojo Satoru once commented on the top brass in the magic world:
'The upper echelons are a devil's cave in the world of magic. There are fools who protect themselves wisely, hereditary fools, arrogant fools, and simple fools. '

However, in the original work, there is not much detailed characterization of these so-called high-level figures in the magic world, and even the most basic names and appearances are unknown.

The only thing I know is that these guys rarely did any good things, and in the end they were all killed by Gojo Satoru.

Noctua Masamichi didn't know how to answer this question from Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"them."

His conscience prevented him from lying, but his current position also prevented him from speaking freely like Gojo Satoru.

So, he could only answer vaguely:

"You'll know when you see them."

Having said this, he told Fujimaru Ritsuka with a serious face:

"After entering the director's office, remember to be careful in your words and deeds. Except for some necessary questions, I will try my best to help you answer other aspects."

"Also, even if you hear some unreasonable words, try not to conflict with the other party. Leave the rest to me."

"Okay Principal Noctua, I understand."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded obediently and seemed very cooperative.

However, after giving the instructions, Noctua Masami was still a little worried, not because he was worried about Fujimaru Ritsuka, but because he was worried about the senior officials.

He called Gojo Satoru on the way here, but found that the other party could not be contacted now. This had to make people worry, and it was suspected that the high-level people had a premeditated plan.

I just don’t know when Gojo Satoru will react.

So in such a silent environment, the two came to the director's room.

There were two guards in kimonos guarding the door of the director's office. The two came to the door and were about to enter, but they were stopped by the guards and said:
"The adults summoned only Fujimaru Ritsuka, and the others stopped."

"what?!"

Noctua Zhengdao was stunned when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice:
"Fujimaru Ritsuka is a student of our school. As the principal, of course I am qualified."

"Others stop."

The guard indifferently interrupted Noctua's speech, not caring about his defense at all.

"."

Noctua Masamichi remained silent, his hands hanging down naturally clenched into fists unconsciously, but at this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka's bright and clear voice came -

"It's okay, Principal Noctua, I can go alone."

She smiled brightly at Noctua, looking like she was going on an outing instead of facing the highest authority in the magic world.

For some reason, when he saw the other party's smile, he relaxed a little, but when he thought about the current situation, he could only nod heavily and said:
".I know. Be careful."

"Ok!"

So Fujimaru Ritsuka pushed open the door and entered. As the door closed again, he disappeared from the sight of Noctua Masamichi.

The Director's Office is the highest authority in the world of magic, where senior officials formulate rules and issue orders, which are then regarded as truth and implemented by their subordinates.

There was only one light shining vertically from the center of the room in the entire director's room, and the surrounding area was pitch black, as if there was endless darkness and some kind of ulterior secret hidden inside.

At the junction of light and darkness, six screens stood in a circle, surrounding Fujimaru Ritsuka standing in the center. The senior officials were hidden behind the screens and could only vaguely see their blurry figures.

".Did I go to the wrong place?"

Looking at the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but question.

Because no matter how you look at it, this place is more like an interrogation room than the highest authority.

"Quiet." At this moment, an old and serious voice came from in front of her, and then the other party began to tell her information.

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, a first-year student at the Tokyo Metropolitan College of Magic. The spell is [Heroic Spirit Summoning]."

"Initially he was registered as a third-level conjurer. However, based on his recent performance, it can be judged that he deliberately concealed his strength. In addition, his origin is unknown, his experience before entering school is unknown, and his true identity is unknown."

"Do you have anything to explain about the above issues?"

Is it a show of authority from the very beginning?

She thought she would at least be polite before fighting, but she didn't expect that she didn't even have a nice word to say, and she was directly held accountable when she came up.

The local senior management is so rude!

As for what to explain?
Thinking of what Noctua Zhengdao had just told her, she silently apologized to him in her heart.

Sorry, Principal Noctua, Teacher Gojo has already warned me before you warned me about how to get along with these old guys.

So, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Sorry, no comment."

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.

As if shocked that a fledgling girl dared to openly confront them, the director's room suddenly became quiet.

The next moment, an angry voice suddenly came from behind her left:
"Disrespectful!!"

"Do you know who you are talking to?!"

At the same time, a gloomy old woman's voice came from the right.

"A mere first-year student dares to despise our majesty like this. It seems that that boy from Noctua Zhengdao has really neglected his duty. He should be severely punished together!"

"Extremely true."

Hearing this, she couldn't help but frown slightly, but continued:

"Teacher Gojo promised me that I only need to be responsible for him. I have told him all the information about me. If you have any questions, please ask him."

"Hmph, you want to use Gojo Satoru to suppress us? That guy is just an arrogant brat who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

A dismissive voice came from the left, apparently disgusted with Gojo Satoru's existence.

Right in front, the old man who initially questioned Fujimaru Ritsuka now had a strong displeasure in his tone and threatened:

"In the final analysis, Gojo Satoru is just a magician under our jurisdiction. The Council of Directors is the highest authority in the world of magic. No one can defy the decisions of the Council of Directors."

"If you continue to choose to hide it, then we can only regard you as an unknown person lurking in the magic world——"

"Death punishment!"

However, in the face of the other party's so-called death threat, Fujimaru Ritsuka remained unmoved and had a firm attitude.

"Feel sorry."

After saying that, she bowed modestly and turned around to leave.

But at this moment-

"Chong!"

Jeanne d'Arc Alter and the two rituals who had remained in the spirit child state all the way suddenly appeared at this moment. The two rites protected Fujimaru Ritsuka behind them, and Jeanne d'Arc Alter waved her flag gun to block the attack from behind.

The situation in the room changed again. Everyone looked at the two servants who suddenly appeared in shock. They didn't feel any trace of the spell and didn't know how they appeared.

Jeanne Alter stared intently at the senior executive who launched the sneak attack, with murderous intent in her eyes.

"You, do you want to die?"
