"Although I did come today to visit Mr. Hikigaya and personally see his elegance. On the other hand, we also hope President Kaede can release more enrollment slots and allow Sobu High to accept more transfer students."
"Eh? I'm already preparing to recruit several more classes of students. Isn't that enough?"
Hearing the reason Yotsuba Maya brought so many people to see her, Kaede blinked, stopped staring at everyone drinking the black tea, and asked in confusion.
Accepting the young ladies from the major factions was already basically decided, but she did not want herself surrounded entirely by rich young ladies. So she had already discussed it with Tsubaki. Besides arranging for the little idols under the idol agency to transfer into Sobu High, they would also recruit even more ordinary students than young ladies from outside.
For example, students from poor families who needed part-time jobs to survive, students hospitalized with no money for treatment, students who had lost both parents and had no one to rely on, and so on. Also, the countryside childhood friend sisters of a certain womanizing idiot, as well as talented students from rural schools, could all be admitted into Sobu High.
Even though ordinary students joining Sobu High would not necessarily become their people, they still could not let the major financial factions completely control the promotion path of magical girls.
The total number from both sides would already be quite large, and she had not hidden it from others. Since so many students would be paired with the same teaching staff, she had not expected Yotsuba Maya and the others to still want to increase student recruitment.
"It isn't only a matter of numbers. Right now, there are quite a few demi-humans in Sobu High, but the human students are basically all ordinary people."
Yotsuba Maya smiled slightly and glanced toward Nishikigi Chisato and Inoue Takina among the crowd as she calmly explained.
"So after discussing it with the others, we wanted to ask for your opinion, President Kaede. Would it be possible to let some talented young supernatural individuals enter Sobu High and study together with the demi-humans?"
"If suitable, Mr. Hikigaya could also give them some guidance in his spare time and let them join the Service Club to become magical girls."
"Compared to making ordinary students become magical girls and fight, it's actually better to let spiritual ability users and physical ability users who already have combat experience become magical girls."
"Spiritual ability users and physical ability users... Ms. Yotsuba, do you have any recommendations?"
Kaede did not really understand what these financial groups were planning, so she directly asked.
If they were specifically recruiting supernatural individuals, then Sobu High would no longer only have ordinary classes, idol classes, demi-human classes, and rich young lady classes. There would even be supernatural classes.
Could it be the demi-human faction and the human faction were really about to start a chaotic clique battle inside Sobu High?
Lower-ranked classes not allowed to serve Hachiman?
"My recommendation..."
Hearing Kaede's question, Yotsuba Maya did not answer immediately. Instead, she smiled and looked toward Nishikigi Chisato and Inoue Takina standing among the crowd.
"President Kaede, this is Kirasaka Sayaka from the Lion King Organization, a shamanic war dancer. She is also Princess La Folia's bodyguard during this period."
Seeing the topic shift to themselves, Nishikigi Chisato and Inoue Takina pulled out a tall, slender girl with fair skin and gorgeous delicate features, then took the initiative to introduce her to Kaede.
"President Kaede, hello. I represent the Lion King Organization in discussing Sobu High's expansion plan with you."
Kirasaka Sayaka, with tea-colored hair, green eyes, and a high ponytail, slightly lowered her head toward Kaede and respectfully explained.
"The Lion King Organization has many spiritual ability users with excellent talent. We hope you can give the Lion King Organization more enrollment slots."
"We can slowly discuss the details. If you are dissatisfied with me, I can also return and send someone else over to negotiate."
"Wait, I have a question. Are the spiritual ability users you're talking about superpower users? Or magicians like Iris?"
Seeing another beautiful girl with a great figure appear, Kaede, who was already used to this kind of thing, blinked and directly asked what seemed to be common knowledge to everyone else.
Physical ability users sounded like close-combat fighters, maybe muscle monsters capable of directly clashing with evil forces. But spiritual ability users left her confused.
She originally thought the human side had very little combat power, which was why they valued Hachiman so much for being able to develop and awaken magical girl abilities. But it turned out the supernatural individuals in other factions were not few at all.
Then why were all these factions placing such importance on Hachiman? They were even sending one beautiful girl after another over.
Kirasaka Sayaka did not know what Kaede was complaining about internally. Otherwise, she would definitely feel helpless. Humanity really could not be considered weak, and the number of supernatural individuals could not be called extremely rare, but those were accumulated over many years.
For example, she herself was a supernatural fighter trained by the Lion King Organization since childhood. Yet the combat power developed over more than ten years was effortlessly surpassed by Kaede in less than two months.
Not to mention that their power was no longer limited by talent and could be forcibly increased through other methods. How could such terrifying power not be coveted?
"No. We call innate superpower users who don't rely on magic power or sorcery over-adapters. Spiritual ability users refer to people who can see or sense normally invisible things, such as spirits, energy flows, or other supernatural phenomena. Some highly talented spiritual ability users even possess spirit sight, allowing them to predict the near future."
Seeing that Kaede did not seem to be joking, Kirasaka Sayaka hesitated slightly before explaining.
She had not expected Kaede, the student council president of Sobu High and the center of attention for every major faction, to not even understand this basic hidden world knowledge.
However, perhaps Kaede and Suzu had devoted all their time to improving their strength. Otherwise, how could they have grown from ordinary people into powerful magical girls in such a short time?
"President Kaede, the Lion King Organization is actually similar to the DA organization our Lycoris belong to. It's just that the orphans taken in by the Lion King Organization all have supernatural talent."
Inoue Takina, who was relatively more familiar with Kaede, quickly explained from the side.
"You can simply think of spiritual ability users in the Lion King Organization as shrine maidens who can communicate with spirits. Shrine maidens skilled in swordsmanship are called sword shamans, while shrine maidens skilled in curses and assassination are called shamanic war dancers."
"For example, Miko-san, who can easily see many powerful evil spirits, is an extremely talented spiritual ability user."
"It's just that the Lion King Organization's training speed definitely can't compare to Mr. Hachiman's. So now the Lion King Organization hopes to let their spiritual ability users enter Sobu High and receive development training from Mr. Hachiman."
Even Lycoris agents like them had specialized training schools for centralized management, let alone supernatural individuals with special talents.
Before being developed by Hachiman, however, neither she nor Chisato had supernatural talent. Their combat abilities were only at the level of ordinary humans. They could not interfere in supernatural incidents, much less face invasions from evil forces.
Now, if they could promote cooperation between the Lion King Organization and Mr. Hachiman, allowing more sword shamans and shamanic war dancers from the Lion King Organization to enter Sobu High and receive development from Mr. Hachiman day and night, then it would fulfill the wish they once had of studying and training together with spiritual ability users to become stronger.
Mm... although this method of training and growing stronger was a little improper, whether it was her, Chisato, or those sword shamans and shamanic war dancers, everyone was doing it to become stronger and protect peace.
"Oh~ So spiritual ability users are like Miko~"
The moment Yotsuya Miko was mentioned, Kaede instantly understood.
However, unlike Yotsuya Miko, who could only see evil spirits but had no way to deal with them and had to seek Hachiman for protective charms, these spiritual ability users sounded much stronger, with both swordsmanship and curse assassinations.
If the Lion King Organization entered Sobu High, and Hachiman developed magical girl talents for them while they taught magical girls combat experience and combat techniques, then it really would be a win-win cooperation.
Previously, she only wanted to help ordinary students struggling in life and give them a chance to grasp their future, so that there would not be too many rich young ladies.
But now that she thought about it, directly poaching these beautiful supernatural girls carefully trained by major factions seemed even better.
Nishikigi Chisato and Inoue Takina were excellent Lycoris raised from orphanhood by the DA organization. The Lion King Organization probably also had many excellent sword shamans and shamanic war dancers.
The only concern was whether poaching too many people from one faction would be a little excessive. At least leave some people for them to maintain operations.
It would be troublesome if they had to manage things themselves. Wasn't it better to let other factions help find and raise people?
Thinking of this, Kaede could not help looking toward Kirasaka Sayaka and Inoue Takina.
"Is it only the Lion King Organization? No other supernatural organizations want to send people to study at Sobu High?"
"And the DA organization? Other than Chisato and Takina, are there no other pretty Lycoris?"
"..."
"..."
Kirasaka Sayaka and Inoue Takina fell silent at the same time.
Although the purpose of the organizations behind them was indeed to cooperate with Kaede and obtain her authorization, seeing the faint anticipation on Kaede's face still made them feel absurd.
Inoue Takina was alright. Having personally experienced it, she knew cliques ran rampant inside the Service Club. Once they joined, they would have to become Kaede's support and help her fight against the demi-human alliance led by Iris, who had various blood-sucking, charm, and special sexual concepts.
It was just that the situation inside the Service Club was indeed outrageous. Even though she willingly served Hachiman in order to become stronger, she would still occasionally be shocked by how wild the elf princesses and the others played.
Kirasaka Sayaka, on the other hand, did not understand the clique situation inside the Service Club. Seeing Kaede so eager to recruit people into the school left her puzzled.
Although her spirit sight had been strong since childhood, causing her fearful father to frequently abuse her and leaving her somewhat resistant and afraid of men, right now she was only responsible for protecting Princess La Folia.
Still, she also understood a little about the so-called magical girl development awakening ritual. No matter how one looked at it, Hachiman had to engage in one-on-one close intimate contact with magical girls, right?
But weren't Kaede and Hachiman a couple? It was already strange enough that she did not reject or dislike other girls approaching him. Now she even wanted more beautiful girls to approach Hachiman?
"President Kaede, you've misunderstood. Right now we've only reached a preliminary agreement. It's not just the Lion King Organization and the DA organization sending people over. Besides us, there may even be people from other countries who want to contact Mr. Hikigaya."
Seeing the atmosphere become a little strange, Yotsuba Maya lightly coughed and smiled as she skipped over the topic, her gaze sweeping across Kirasaka Sayaka.
"If President Kaede agrees, we and the relevant representatives from each faction will further discuss student slot arrangements and provide corresponding teaching resources."
"Of course, all of this will still require your approval. We will only send people after obtaining your permission."
She knew the Lion King Organization sending Kirasaka Sayaka to La Folia as a bodyguard was actually meant to give Kirasaka Sayaka the chance to become a magical girl together with the others. It was just that Kirasaka Sayaka herself did not know.
After all, according to her intelligence, people from the Lion King Organization had also appeared at the school of Hachiman's younger sister Komachi, and she was similarly an innocent pure girl.
Instead of directly sending people over for development training, they arranged for innocent pure girls to come and wait for Hachiman to take interest in them. It was hard not to suspect the Lion King Organization was trying to play the emotional card and become the Rurikawa family among supernatural factions, suppressing the others.
"President Kaede, please take a look. This is the list of ordinary teachers from various academies, and this is the list of special teachers who can teach martial arts and combat experience."
Shiba Miyuki, who had been standing behind Yotsuba Maya, stepped forward and took out two documents she had been holding against her chest, bending slightly to place them before Kaede and Rurikawa Tsubaki.
"There's even a special teacher list? Let me and Tsubaki take a look first..."
Looking at Shiba Miyuki as she returned behind Yotsuba Maya, Kaede and Rurikawa Tsubaki both paused their gazes on her flawless cold and elegant face and smooth beautiful black hair. After exchanging a glance and understanding each other's thoughts, they lowered their heads to continue reading the teacher lists.
The ordinary teacher list introduced many young female teachers in detail. Beneath their names and photos were their measurements, personalities, whether they had sisters, their current schools, family factions, and even whether they had a fiance arranged by their family.
The special teacher list also marked these things. Some of the special teachers were even prettier than the young female teachers on the ordinary teacher list. It was just that the content focused more on introducing their professions, abilities, and achievements.
There were many professions among the special teachers. Besides mostly being kendo experts proficient in swordsmanship, there were also shrine maidens, martial artists, ninjas, nuns, and even witches who had signed contracts with demons.
However, most special teachers related to demons and the demon world all had hidden dangers urgently needing resolution.
Mm... no need to keep reading. Most likely they were like Princess Shrine Maiden Origamine Ouka, with overwhelming filth power accumulated inside them that required Hachiman's support.
Because demonic creatures from the demon world could gather desire energy, causing people to lose reason and even attack ordinary civilians without restraint, even goddesses and angels from the goddess world struggled to deal with them before receiving Hachiman's support.
Faced with this situation, other supernatural individuals with problems in their bodies or abilities probably possessed great combat power but did not dare fight. If they were corrupted by demons, they would instead turn around and attack their own side.
"I've looked through them briefly and found it hard to choose. Can I give you my answer later?"
After discovering that the physical ability users on the special teacher list were not muscle monsters, but beautiful girls with powerful talents or special bloodlines who became ninjas and martial artists, Kaede relaxed considerably and looked up at Yotsuba Maya with a cheerful smile.
Although she had no prejudice against ordinary-looking or unattractive girls and could still be normal friends with them, if they were entering the Service Club, then they would become support on her side in the future. She did not want ugly girls.
She had already accepted Hachiman being a playboy with a harem. Finding beautiful girls prettier than herself for Hachiman could barely be justified. But finding unattractive girls would be truly ridiculous.
"Of course. There's no rush regarding the enrollment slots and teacher lists. Even if you tell us next week, that's fine."
Yotsuba Maya smiled slightly, completely unsurprised that Kaede and the others found it hard to choose.
"However, tomorrow is the weekend. If President Kaede agrees, we hope construction to renovate Sobu High can begin this weekend."
With their capabilities, there was no need to worry about mobilizing ordinary teachers. The special teachers were mostly people from their own factions. A decision made in the morning could have people sent over that very afternoon. What they urgently needed now was Kaede approving Sobu High's expansion and renovation.
"Uh, construction starts already? Isn't that a bit too rushed?"
Kaede froze for a moment, feeling this kind of construction would affect ordinary students.
Originally, she only planned to let people enroll and clean up abandoned classrooms. If there wasn't enough space, they could squeeze together for now.
Anyway, these students were basically not here to seriously study. It would be fine to renovate school buildings during long vacations.
"Two days is enough. After all, we're not building military facilities, just ordinary educational facilities. We will handle the land around Sobu High, and the Yotsuba Technology Group can work together with the Yukinoshita family to take responsibility for this project."
Yotsuba Maya nodded with a smile and looked toward the quiet Yukinoshita Kiyuki.
The development of magical technology had progressed rapidly, but for now it still could not be used in clashes between supernatural factions.
Because most supernatural individuals daring enough to cross worlds and come here despite the lack of magic power were difficult to deal with, either because they were extremely strong or because they would use any means necessary.
But in civilian matters, there was no need to consider so much. For her, it only required throwing money at the problem.
The main purpose of today's visit was still to test the attitudes of Hachiman and Kaede's side. Without their permission, even if she bought all the land around Sobu High, it would be useless.
"O-Of course... If President Kaede is willing to let us undertake this project together with the Yotsuba family, the entire Yukinoshita family will definitely go all out and make sure President Hikigaya is satisfied!"
Seeming somewhat distracted, Yukinoshita Kiyuki understood Yotsuba Maya's goodwill when the topic shifted to her and quickly seized this chance to display the Yukinoshita family's abilities.
'However, this tea flavor...'
'Could it really be that only Yukino, Haruno and I tasted it?'
Yukinoshita Kiyuki pursed her lips and felt that unforgettable taste still lingering on her tongue. Hesitantly looking at her completely empty cup, her puzzled gaze quietly swept across the faces of Yotsuba Maya, Shiba Miyuki, Shinomiya Kaguya, La Folia, Saegusa Mayumi, Nishikigi Chisato, and the others.
'Why did everyone else have no reaction at all? Do they not taste it... or are they already used to drinking it?'
