"I'll take care of the consequences."
His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable confidence.
"Rias Gremory is in trouble right now, and I can help her."
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the street scene of Komao City outside.
"What we need to do now is to become stronger."
"Compared to those established mythical forces, we are like a candle in the wind. If the other side spares no effort, we can be extinguished with the slightest breath."
"To gain a foothold in this world, or even to live better, one needs to constantly draw strength and grow stronger."
Nami pouted.
"It's easy for you to say. Just thinking about a nearly 20-year-old auntie like me having to take a class with a bunch of little kids makes my scalp tingle."
Even so, the resistance in her eyes had lessened considerably.
She knew very well that Zhou Ye's decisions were usually made after careful consideration.
Saeko Busujima replied simply and decisively.
"I'm OK."
For her, where she is is not important; what matters is whether she can become stronger and whether she has the opportunity to fight.
If school is a necessary stepping stone, she wouldn't mind taking the plunge.
Shizuka Marikawa blinked and raised her hand.
"Um, what about me? Can I go to school too? I can be the school doctor, it's my old profession!"
She seemed somewhat excited.
Zhou Ye smiled.
"If Shizuka-sensei wants to go, of course there's no problem."
"It seems that there is a vacancy for the school doctor at Kooh Academy."
Nanri Xiang then asked.
"What about me? I can't all go to school, someone needs to handle other matters."
Zhou Ye looked at her.
"Rika, you and Gil, get familiar with the environment here for now. I will assign you some other tasks."
"For example, intelligence gathering, or some physical labor."
Jill nodded; she really wasn't interested in going to school and preferred to have something else to do.
Nami finally sighed.
"Alright, alright, what can I do? You're the boss."
"But it's a deal, if it gets too boring, I'll skip class."
Zhou Ye didn't take it to heart.
"As long as you can complete the assignments I give you."
He turned around, a meaningful smile on his face.
"So, welcome to Komao Academy, my classmates, starting today."
Nami and Saeko Busujima exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness and a barely perceptible expectation in each other's eyes.
Chapter 81 Bringing Two Girls to the Academy
Zhou Ye looked at Nami and Saeko Busujima, and a soft measuring tape appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"Since you're going to school, a school uniform is necessary."
"I came to measure myself so that it would fit perfectly."
Nami crossed her arms, took a small step back, and raised her delicate eyebrows high.
"Boss, wouldn't it be better to leave this kind of thing to a professional tailor?"
Her tone was somewhat playful, yet tinged with a hint of wariness.
Saeko Busujima didn't seem to care. She unfastened the sword from her waist, leaned it against the wall, and calmly looked at Zhou Ye.
For her, school uniforms and combat uniforms were simply outfits for different occasions.
Zhou Ye ignored Nami's protests and walked straight up to Saeko Busujima.
"Saeko, you go first."
The measuring tape traversed Saeko Busujima's body, recording a series of numbers. Her figure was upright and her lines were smooth; even in the simple act of measuring, she exuded the heroic spirit of a martial artist.
Shizuka Marikawa watched with great interest, occasionally letting out a soft exclamation of admiration.
When it was Nami's turn, she became noticeably more hesitant.
"Boss, be gentle, my body is delicate."
Zhou Ye remained unmoved, his movements still professional and swift.
"do not move."
Nami pouted and muttered something like "taking advantage costs money."
After completing the measurement, Zhou Ye put away the measuring tape.
"Okay, I'll take care of the school uniform."
He then turned to Nan Lixiang and Gil Valentine, turned on the computer in the room, and websites for military equipment popped up on the screen.
"Rika, Jill, your task is to familiarize yourselves with the individual powered armor in the existing games and anime of this world."
“You are currently better suited to use technology-based weapons and equipment, and I will help you manufacture them.”
"You need to learn magic and swordsmanship in this world from scratch, and that will take time."
Jill stared intently at the various powered skeletons on the screen.
Nanri Kaori stroked her chin, browsing with great interest.
"Boss, are you planning to help us upgrade our weapons too?"
Zhou Ye nodded slightly.
"Adaptive evolution is the first priority for survival."
A moment later, Zhou Ye picked up his coat from the sofa.
Nami and Saeko Busujima also changed into casual clothes that were easy to move in, and prepared to go out together.
“We’re leaving, Gil, Rika.”
Zhou Ye walked to the door, then turned back and added.
"The room is equipped with a magical alarm system, so there's no need to worry about safety."
"There's money and a bank card in the drawer. The password is 123456. There's 1 million yen in it. You can buy whatever you want or get familiar with the prices here."
Nami's ears immediately perked up, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.
"Boss, where did you get so many yen?"
Zhou Ye's expression remained unchanged.
"Heh, a cyber intrusion that allowed me to borrow a little money from some dormant accounts that hadn't been used for years."
Nami's eyes lit up instantly. She rubbed her hands together, her face full of a flattering smile, and moved closer to Zhou Ye.
"Boss, look how hard I work for you, can you give me some money too?"
“10 billion yen, that’s not an easy thing for you.”
Saeko Busujima, Gil, Rika Minami, and Shizuka Marikawa all gasped almost simultaneously.
Good guy!
He asked for 1 billion yen right off the bat.
Converted to US dollars, that's nearly $6.91 million (at today's exchange rate).
How dare you speak!
Zhou Ye glanced at Nami, a half-smile playing on his lips.
"Nami, the gold and jewelry you bought for free in Raccoon City are worth more than 10 billion yen in total."
"You're still coming to me complaining about being poor? Are you just letting all that money go to waste?"
Nami pulled out a monocle from somewhere and put it on her right eye with great seriousness, looking exactly like a wicked capitalist.
"Boss, you can't do the math like that."
She held up a finger and shook it gently.
"First of all, those gems are my magical ammunition, consumables for combat."
"Without them, my gem magic would be like water without a source or a tree without roots, and my combat power would be greatly reduced."
Zhou Ye adopted a "I'll just watch your performance quietly" expression and didn't interrupt her.
Nami cleared her throat and continued her "defense".
"Secondly, those gold pieces all have special markings from America's side."
"Even if we go to great lengths to remove the markings, we won't get a good price if we sell them in today's jewelry stores. They'll definitely try to lower the price once they see the quantity is so large."
"If we go through the black market, we'll lose even more; being skinned alive would be the least of our worries."
"Moreover, the current international gold price is not very good. We need to wait for the right opportunity and act cautiously in order to maximize our profits."
She paused, then continued.
"So, boss, most of my so-called assets are fixed assets that cannot be liquidated in the short term, or strategic reserve materials."
"The amount of liquid funds I can actually use right now is actually very tight."
