Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Unqualified Teacher
"No, nothing."
Hayashizaki searched all around Kanagawa but couldn't find any traces of cursed energy related to idel transfiguration
If the target hadn't already escaped, it meant they were still somewhere in Kanagawa.
He couldn't keep circling the area forever—no one could guard against thieves every day.
If that special-grade curse was still in Kanagawa, the only thing Hayashizaki could do to prevent its escape was set up a barrier. The barrier would cover the entire prefecture, allowing ordinary humans to pass freely, while curses and sorcerers could only enter, not leave.
"Barrier techniques aren't really my specialty, but this should be enough."

[In a family restaurant]
"What do you think about the deal, Yoshino?"
Yukinoshita Yukino asked, "You said there were four bullies. Three are already dead, so there's one left, right?"
"Ah, yeah…"
Yoshino Junpei clenched his drink cup tightly. "His name is Ito Shota. He's from a rich family and popular at school, but only his victims know his true nature. It's not just me—he's bullied many students."
"I see. So, it's settled then? We'll send Ito Shota to prison to face legal punishment, and in return, you'll honestly tell us what you saw at the movie theater. Is that fine?"
"Or…"
Yukinoshita Yukino stared straight into Yoshino Junpei's eyes.
"Do you think sending Ito Shota to prison isn't enough? Do you want to kill him yourself?"
"Huh? No, I…"
Yoshino Junpei was startled, panic flashing in his eyes.
He'd never thought about killing Itou Shota himself, but for a brief moment after hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's words, the idea seemed strangely appealing.
He fell silent. Yukinoshita Yukino didn't press for an answer, quietly sipping her juice. Beside her, Itadori Yuji kept glancing between them, looking restless.
After hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's proposal, he could barely hold back from agreeing on Yoshino Junpei's behalf—just so he could help beat up those awful bullies.
Itadori Yuji's fists itched for a fight.
After a long pause, Yoshino Junpei finally spoke.
"I agree."
"Alright! Let's go!"
Itadori Yuji stood up excitedly.
With Yoshino Junpei leading the way, they headed toward Kanagawa Prefectural Sazakura High School, where he studied.
On the way, Itadori Yuji scratched his head, looking apologetic.
"Sorry, Yukinoshita-senpai. I almost misunderstood you earlier."
"It's fine. I don't mind," the girl said with a shake of her head.
"Good to know."
Itadori Yuji clasped his hands behind his head, curiosity sparking in his eyes.
"By the way, Yukinoshita-senpai, how do you plan to get that Ito guy into prison?"
Yoshino Junpei also turned his gaze toward her, just as curious.
"As long as we have evidence. What they did to Yoshino clearly went far beyond bullying," Yukinoshita Yukino explained, listing the brutal things Yoshino Junpei had suffered.
"And according to Yoshino, they recorded their actions to mock him repeatedly, right?"
"Oh, I get it now!"
Itadori Yuji smacked his fist into his palm.
"If we find those videos, we can use them as evidence to send that Ito jerk to prison!"
"Those videos are probably on Itou's phone, but how can we get his phone?"
Yoshino Junpei asked with a puzzled expression.
"That makes things easier."
Yukinoshita Yukino's beautiful face lit up with a dazzling smile.
"We just need to pay him back for what he did to Yoshino."
Seeing that enchanting smile, Itadori Yuji and Yoshino Junpei both had the same thought in their minds.
Yukinoshita-senpai is scary!
The three of them arrived at the front gate of Satozakura High School. It was Monday, and except for students like Yoshino Junpei, who skipped class, or Yukinoshita Yukino, who had taken leave, the other students were all in class.
To catch the special-grade cursed spirit "Wu Wei Transformation", Yukinoshita Yukino directly asked her sister for help and got a week-long leave from Hiratsuka-sensei, making Hiratsuka Shizuka think something serious had happened in Yukinoshita's family.
"Ah."
At the school gate, Itadori Yuji suddenly called out.
"Ah!"
The chubby, middle-parted, strict dean, who had retrieved his pants, widened his small eyes and pointed at Itadori Yuji.
"It's you! The rude brat!"
"Yukinoshita-senpai, we're in trouble. What should we do now? Should I pull down his pants again?"
Itadori Yuji whispered to Yukinoshita Yukino as he moved closer.
Sensing his mischievous intent, the dean instinctively tightened his suit pants.
"No need."
Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head and walked straight toward the man. Itadori Yuji and Yoshino Junpei, stunned for a moment, quickly followed.
"W-What do you want!?"
Thinking the three were about to gang up on him, the dean stepped back two paces.
"Stay back! Don't come any closer, or I'll call security!"
This was the front gate of Ritsuzakura High, and he was the dean of the school. Realizing he was on home turf, the man regained some confidence.
He pointed at the three of them and barked:
"You two, which school are you from? Especially you, pink-haired brat! How could you do something as rude as stealing a teacher's pants!?"
"Yoshino, how could you be friends with someone like this? They'll only lead you astray and ruin your future!"
Before he could raise their blood pressure any further, Yukinoshita Yukino interrupted his rambling.
"You're a teacher at this school, right?"
"I'm the dean!"
The chubby man corrected her. When trying to sound authoritative, he called himself "teacher," but now he was flaunting his title as dean.
"Yoshino Junpei has been bullied here. You knew about it, didn't you?"
Yukinoshita Yukino pressed.
"Bullying? What bullying?"
The dean frowned.
"You out-of-school kids better not spread lies! Our Satozakura High is…"
"Still denying it? Or do you need Yoshino himself to point you out before you'll stop pretending?"
Yukinoshita Yukino's gaze turned cold.
"A teacher covering up for criminals?"
Though she knew that caring teachers like Hiratsuka Shizuka were rare, she still believed teachers should have basic professional ethics.
But now, it seemed she had been too naive.
