The sky is gloomy.
A coffee shop in Shinjuku.
Su Ze picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, then cut off a small piece of cake with a fork.
He tilted his head to look at the scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window, where people were coming and going in an endless stream.
Even in the afternoon, there was no sunlight at all, and the heat outside could be felt even through the glass.
pat.
A small piece of dessert was gently placed on the table.
"Thank you." Su Ze turned around, smiled and nodded.
"You're welcome..." The young waiter waved his hands hurriedly and trotted away in a panic.
"Did you see that?" he whispered in amazement.
"Hmmmm~" a voice echoed.
Su Ze closed his eyes and smiled faintly, pretending he heard nothing.
He was thinking about something else.
——Allowing the two technical colleges to have seats in the "Directorate" was not what he wanted to see.
He hadn't intended this.
A technical college should be a pure place for educating people - whether students or teachers, they should not be linked to any politics or become its vassal.
Students’ thoughts should also be pure and free from external interference. If the technical college becomes a place for the elders and the new generation of magicians to compete, or even a point of contention between the two sides, then the freshmen in the technical college will be labeled as "the elders" or "the new generation" from the moment they enter school.
This is what Su Ze hates the most.
But those old oranges obviously saw Su Ze's idea, and they didn't want Su Ze to get too "satisfied".
Therefore, after several rounds of consultations and negotiations between the two sides, they finally made this rather disgusting decision.
Su Ze had never intended to occupy all four seats by himself, but it was quite important to add more chips to dilute the authority of the old oranges.
As for the group of "veterans", their ideas are also easy to understand.
—You want four new seats? No problem, but I can't give them all to you.
In the eyes of the elders, Geto Xiayou is already in a semi-retired state. At the same time, according to Geto Xiayou himself and Suze and others, because of the state of mind three years ago, his strength has "decreased", so he can no longer be considered a standard special grade.
——Therefore, they are certain that Su Ze’s side will only have three and a half seats at most.
His own, Takeshi Suguru's, half of the Tokyo High School fan, and one of the Gojo family's.
A few raindrops fell and hit the glass beside him.
Then came the second drop, and the third.
A patter of rain came.
——According to Ms. Kurokawa, the operation of the "Magician Fund Management Committee" is constrained in many ways, and insufficient staff and poor information flow are just the most common parts.
As for the large-scale search for undiscovered holders of the technique in society, it is even more difficult.
——After all, this is literally touching the cake of the "Big Three".
With a large influx of fresh blood and countless "free" sorcerers entering the world of sorcery, the absolute advantage of the "Big Three" will undoubtedly be broken.
Their status will definitely suffer a huge impact.
So even without taking the lead, the open and covert attacks against Su Ze's actions would naturally continue to come.
Among them, the most obvious and undisguised is "Kamo".
Under Gojo Satoru's strong hand, "Gojo" barely carried out the various policies presided over by Su Ze; as for "Zen Temple", although the opposition voices never ceased, unexpectedly, "Zen Temple" did not show any strong opposition behavior, at least in reality, they only made trouble in insignificant aspects.
But all in all, the power of the old oranges is greater than Su Ze thought.
He frowned slightly unconsciously.
The fog outside the coffee shop was hazy, the crowd was buried in the mist, the red taillights of the cars and the neon signs of the street shops were flickering in the rain.
There was a sudden sound from the side.
The sound of high-heeled sandals hitting the wooden floor was crisp.
Then, the chair opposite the table was pulled away, and a slight clicking sound reached Su Ze's ears.
"Oh, are you thinking about something? Am I here at a bad time--" The charming voice reveals the unique charm of a mature woman.
Su Ze let out a light breath and turned to look at the woman sitting opposite him. She was wearing a sleeveless, light-colored casual long dress with an exquisite milky white leather belt tied around her waist, which clearly outlined her slim figure.
"Miss Mingming, I haven't seen you for a long time."
Su Ze said softly.
"Yeah, it's been four months since your graduation ceremony~"
Mingming curled her red lips, took off her sun hat and women's sunglasses, and put them at hand.
"Please order, it's my treat--" Su Ze took the menu from the waitress and handed it to Mingming.
"Hehe, you want to leave a good impression on me?" Mingming smiled widely.
"After all, we are here to discuss business. These are what Party B should do--" Su Ze said with a slight joke.
"You've really changed a lot." Mingming picked up the black coffee and took a small sip.
"It would be best if this makes you feel that we can be a reliable partner." Su Ze shrugged and responded with a helpless smile.
"You want to get me to invest."
Mingming ignored the several glances from people around him, continued to smile charmingly, and casually lifted his hair.
"I thought it would be more convenient to talk here because it's quiet here..." Su Ze raised his eyebrows, looking helpless, "I didn't expect Miss Mingming to be so charming--"
"Even in a deep alley, it still attracts attention—"
Su Ze looked around, and those eyes that were secretly looking at Mingming immediately turned away, and awkward coughs occurred one after another.
Su Ze felt a little tired and lowered his head to support himself on the table.
"Don't worry, these are all ordinary people. I came here alone~" Mingming knew what Su Ze was worried about.
"...I hope so. After all, the situation is special, so please bear with me, Miss Mingming—"
"Okay, I want to hear it," Mingming supported his cheek, "what exactly do you want to see me for?"
The smile is charming.
"Doing business." Su Ze snapped his fingers, and the table made a slight twanging sound.
"Hmph~ There aren't many deals that I can take seriously nowadays, especially a situation like this where you have to risk almost your entire fortune—" Mingming still smiled faintly, a strand of hair falling silently in front of his brow.
"Miss Mingming will be satisfied." Su Ze showed no expression.
“This is a big deal.”
"Hehe..." Mingming let out an intriguing chuckle, "Su Jun seems to be very confident~ There are very few things that can be called "big deals" here."
"So, what's the deal...?" She smiled with her eyes squinting.
Su Ze sat up straighter, looked up and looked at Mingming.
"The world of magic."
He said softly, his eyes bright as stars.
Bang.
The porcelain cup in Mingming's hand slipped and a cluster of brown flowers exploded on the floor.
The crisp sound of ceramics echoed in the quiet cafe.
The customers around now had a legitimate reason to admire the beauty, and countless cautious, shy, or malicious glances fell on Mingming again.
The nearby waitress hurriedly brought a broom and paper towels. She blushed and secretly looked at Su Ze.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. My hand slipped..." Mingming looked embarrassed and apologized with his hand covering his mouth.
"It's good that you didn't get burned...the cup is not worth much." Su Ze closed his eyes and said softly.
