Kazuki quickly returned to the Jinwen District and released Akie Hanzawa.

Since he was preparing to head to the school and find someone to monitor Akie Hanzawa’s younger brother, he must let Akie Hanzawa witness it. Kazuki could feel that Akie Hanzawa’s obsessiveness was almost completed, and it would provide him with a peace of mind.

His obsessiveness should be fulfilled when Akie Hanzawa set his mind at rest. After Akie Hanzawa’s consciousness had disappeared, Kazuki could then absorb his reiki. He had no idea how much the reiki would empower him, it was his first time absorbing the reiki of a spirit. However, he was extremely excited.

Akie Hanzawa looked around after he was released. He was unleashed in different locations every time, it annoyed him.

Kazuki ignored him and continued walking to Sakura Kyu High School. Many students were participating in club activities, while some were heading home after school ended.

Club activities in Japanese high schools had a high attendance rate. Some schools even made it a rule that all students must join club activities. They could only go home after the club activities had ended.

Sakura Kyu High School clearly did not have this regulation. Kazuki saw two figures as he reached the front gates. Judging from their hairstyles, they should be Furuhashi Akino and Furuhashi Fuyuno.

“Senior Kimura.” Furuhashi Fuyuno saw Kazuki as she exited the gate. She asked, after greeting him, “Why didn’t you come and eat at the canteen for the past two days?”

Furuhashi Akino, who was next to her, merely hummed and continued scrolling on her phone. It was no secret that she detested the idea of having Kazuki as their tutor.

Kazuki ignored the surprised Akie Hanzawa beside him. Then, he smiled and replied, “I was busy for the last two days, so I could not make it.” He continued, “Since we met. I have something to inform both of you. I have signed the contract with your aunt, and thus, we will start classes next Monday. There will be classes for five days per week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Each class will last for two hours. However, I haven’t decided on the time yet as I remember that you are both attending club activities. Both of you should decide on a convenient time for the classes and inform me by Friday after school.”

Club activities were usually from three o’clock to five o’clock. If Furuhashi Harunaka and Furuhashi Natsui chose to complete their club activities, then the tuition classes would have to start from six to eight. However, that would be a little too late. It did not seem right for a man to stay until such hours, especially in a house with girls only.

He told Furuhashi Fuyuno about this, so there would not be any conflict later.

“I understand, senior. I’ll explain it to everyone tonight.” Furuhashi Fuyuno listened carefully and answered with a smile. She reminded herself not to forget it.

After that, he bid the two girls goodbye and marched to the field, ignoring Akie Hanzawa, who was gushing over the beautiful twins.

When he reached the sports field, he called someone over instead of greeting Eguchi Keisuke.

“Head of Department, are you looking for me?” Kikuchi Tomoya appeared in front of Kazuki nervously. Being summoned by him on the field was never a pleasant experience, as most would receive quite a beating. He could feel the other members of the Sword Believers’ Club looking at him and gloating at his impending misery.

Of course, they harbored no ill intention toward him. Members of the Sword Believers’ Club were very close-knit and often teased each other, like a group of best friends. However, he would soon become the laughing stock after meeting with the Head of Department. After all, he had a perfect reputation.

However, he completed the Sword Believers’ Club activities every day and never slacked off. Hence, he was confused and felt uneasy when the Head of Department called him.

Kazuki patted the bench, thus signaling him to sit down. Then, he asked, “Tomoya, I heard that you’re planning to reduce your club activities to work part-time?”

“Yes, I am.” After hearing that, Kikuchi Tomoya replied in a serious tone, “Head of Department, I want to join the club activities too. But my grandfather is currently very ill, and my family used most of our finances for his treatment. My family is struggling. I don’t want to be a burden to my parents, so I want to work part-time to help pay for my expenses.”

“If I remember correctly, you live in the Seigyoku area.” When he saw Kikuchi Tomoya nodded, he smiled and continued, “I have a job here, but the pay isn’t very high. It’s around 10,000 Yen, but it’s an easy job. You only have to supervise a student training in a fitness club. That fellow has no determination and will slack off if no one is supervising him, similar to all of you in the past. So, your job is to supervise him. Whether it is for half a year or a year, you’re free to discuss the duration with him.”

“Really?” Kikuchi Tomoya’s expression was filled with surprise. The pay might be low, but the job was simple and located beside his house. It was indeed a bargain.

“Of course… and you’re in your junior year too. If you accept the job offer, you can skip the after school training and study while supervising him.” Kazuki continued before Kikuchi Tomoya could say a word, “Since something happened to your family, fill in the application form, and I’ll provide you with financial aid. As you’re in your junior year, you should not let anything get in the way of your studies.”

The reason Kazuki could lead the Sword Believers’ Club and gain their utmost respect was because of his martial prowess. He had beaten every senior member in the club, including Kikuchi Tomoya.

Members of the Sword Believers’ Club revered him and never failed to greet him. Besides his martial prowess and academic achievements, they respected him because of the financial aid he granted. It was even sponsored by Principal Endo Etomi.

Every school semester, Principal Endo Etomi would allocate a portion of the school budget for the Sword Believers’ Club, which Kazuki used to set up a financial aid program. Students from underprivileged families could register for it and would significant financial aid is granted.

The budget was transparent, and each member could see the flow of the funds. This was the reason why everyone remained so loyal to the club and showed great respect to Kazuki.

Kikuchi Tomoya was ecstatic and thanked him profusely. Kazuki grinned, “I’ll give you Mikito Hanzawa’s number. Since I have already informed him, you can start supervising him tomorrow. If he doesn’t listen to you, feel free to beat him up!”

“Sure thing,” answered Kikuchi Tomoya happily. In the past, the Head of Department would also punish them if they disobeyed him.

After Kikuchi Tomoya had left, Akie Hanzawa spoke in a surprised manner, “Kimura-sama… I don’t feel very well…”

“What’s happening?”

“My entire body feels warm. I… I think I might be ascending to heaven!”

Kazuki felt pleasantly surprised after hearing the news. He remembered reading something similar to this phenomenon when he perused the Cultivator’s ancient writings. A spirit’s consciousness would feel a warm sensation when its obsessiveness was fulfilled. That was the feeling of fulfillment after its obsessiveness was resolved.

That meant Akie Hanzawa’s consciousness was beginning to dissipate…

According to the local Japanese saying, he was ascending to heaven.
