Chapter 184 Don't Laugh at Him
Time flows as quietly as running water.
Everything in the world is as usual. After obtaining Su Ze's permission, Miss Mingming is now responsible for the fund operation and investment of the "Magician Fund Management Committee".
Although people repeatedly advised Su Ze that the financial guru's hands should be shackled and at least she should not be allowed to be in charge of the financial operations alone, Su Ze was unexpectedly at ease - probably because of the deep agreement and friendship between the two.
Jiujiu Yuki is still exploring a feasible path for "universal cultivation", and Su Ze is occasionally called by her to help with experiments - after all, Su Teji is the only one who can refine "Qi" now.
If one wants to find a way to "cultivate the whole nation", the only possible shortcut is within himself.
……
Otsutsukoshi Yuta's talent is very high, so high that it even exceeded Su Ze's expectations. Judging from the power of the spell, he has a tendency to surpass Gojo Satoru.
——If nothing unexpected happens, he should be able to reach the special level by the time he enters school.
Su Ze investigated his identity and found out that his family was actually a descendant of Sugawara no Michizane.
After being washed away and diluted by countless generations of bloodline branches, Yuta Otsutsuka's parents have become ordinary people; but even so, the "Sugawara" bloodline is still playing a role in secret... right?
Su Ze didn't quite understand this.
Then, Gojo, who is also a descendant of the Sugawara bloodline, is naturally considered a branch of it. So, from another perspective, Otsutsukotsu Yuta and Gojo Satoru are distant relatives.
Then, during training, Su Ze discovered that his approach was different from his own and Gojo Satoru's - his technique was not the type of close combat.
So, since he didn't have a suitable weapon, Su Ze gave him the "Murasame".
"Eh?! Teacher Su, this sword should be very expensive, right? Is it really okay?" Otsutsukota held the Japanese-style long sword in both hands, a look of surprise on his face.
"A good knife is only useful when it is in the right hands. You are more suitable for it than I am."
Chairman Su is quite free and easy.
At this moment, Yuta Otsutsuki admired his teacher's awareness even more, and even his will became stronger.
"Yuta, he seems to be so righteous, but he just can't handle the sword well—"
On a bench under a nearby tree, a white-haired bastard was lying on his side, chewing a Ferrero Rocher snack and yelling.
"Wu, Ferrero's dessert is really wasted when it goes into your mouth." Su Ze said with a forced smile.
"Yuta, you really met a good teacher--" Gojo Satoru raised his little finger in response to Su Ze, and at the same time spoke to Yuta Otsutsukoshi.
He looked up curiously.
"You probably only know that this knife is expensive, but you definitely can't guess how much it cost~" Gojo Satoru continued with interest.
"Okay, Satoru. Eat your snacks—"
Su Ze gently put his arm around Yuta Okkotsu's shoulder, not wanting to discuss the topic in depth.
Instead, Yuta Otsutsuka became even more curious. He looked up at Su Ze, but the latter closed his eyes and did not respond.
So he looked at Gojo Satoru again to get the answer.
"This number, guess higher—"
He stretched out his thumb, index finger and middle finger.
Yuta Otsutsukoshi knew that the quality of this sword was not bad, after all, it had always been held by Suze himself - as one of the active special-grade and the chairman of the committee. Such an identity was the best guarantee.
But having said that, Yuta Okkotsu still had no idea about the price of high-level spell tools - not to mention that Su Ze gave him a "trainee salary" every month, which further blurred his concept of money in the spell world.
"I'll announce the answer directly. It's 300 million--" Gojo Satoru looked playful and no longer embarrassed the hesitant Yuta.
After all, if you guess too high, it will embarrass Su Ze, and if you guess too low, people will think you don’t value this knife...
"Ze paid off his debt for almost three years~" The head of the Gojo family smiled and revealed his friend's past.
“Three…three hundred million?!” Yuta Otsutsukotsu was surprised by the answer. The “Murasame” in his hand seemed to become hot instantly—
Su Ze sighed imperceptibly.
The dark blue scabbard is simple and sharp, with delicately carved flowing patterns on it emitting a faint light.
"Teacher Su, this knife... is it too expensive...?" Otsukotsu Yuta hesitated and turned to look at him.
Su Ze patted his head gently, his expression still normal, "So I don't want Wu to tell you the truth... With your personality, you will inevitably think about it after knowing it-"
The head of the Gojo family shrugged indifferently and continued, "But Yuta should know the truth, whether out of respect for him or out of respect for you--"
"...This is also the truth." Su Ze looked down at Yuta Otsutsukoshi, "Yuta, I hope you won't belittle yourself; and don't have the idea of "repaying Su Ze's kindness" -"
"You rely on me - because you think I protected Rika and gave you the opportunity to choose your own life... That's right. But don't think that "only Su Ze can do this" -"
Su Ze continued in a gentle tone, "You just need to stick to your beliefs and move forward."
Su Ze paused, and his voice seemed to become even slower and lighter - like a rootless grass.
"...In other words, I want you to go north."
Yuta Otsutsukoshi looked up at Su Ze, who was looking down at his feet.
His palm was still gently stroking his head, and his handsome face seemed to have not changed at all.
But for some reason, Yuta Otsutsukoshi always felt that there was an unspeakable sadness deep in Su Ze's eyes.
In his opinion, Teacher Su was strong, yet unexpectedly gentle; intelligent, yet sincere to others.
Among all the different kinds of people he has met, Su Ze is the one closest to being a "perfect person".
——It is also the goal he is determined to achieve.
So, he didn't quite understand Su Ze's last words.
Su Ze's expression remained calm and he stopped talking.
Yuta Otsutsuki was certain that he had never seen Teacher Su so weak.
So weak that it is almost "down and out"——
……
Su Ze left early because of some trivial matters in the "Logistics Department".
“…Yuta.” Gojo Satoru suddenly spoke.
"Huh? Yes--" Otsutsukota turned around and responded. Only then did he notice that Gojo Satoru was already sitting on the bench.
"Your teacher Su is thinking about what happened before--" The head of the Gojo family said with his legs apart and his head bent.
“Hmm…?” Okkotsu Yuta was confused.
"As for what happened to us back then, he probably felt that he could have done better~" Gojo Satoru was vague.
——Maybe he thought that Jay’s downfall was because the four of them didn’t communicate enough; and also because his and his own “halo” was too bright, blinding Jay…
——Or maybe he felt that Jie’s choice of “returning to the south” might not be his true wish?
Okkotsu Yuta seemed even more confused.
"…So, don't laugh at Ze."
The head of the Gojo family looked up and joked in a serious tone.
