"I think you could go to school too. Our Special Division is pretty idle right now anyway. You only need to step in when a really powerful Devil shows up."
Kotone Asaba said it casually.
"That sounds boring."
Quanxi had lost interest in that sort of thing a long time ago.
"Then forget it. Let’s go find the principal first."
Kotone had only brought it up in passing anyway.
After that, with help from the gate guard, they found the principal’s office.
Kotone introduced himself, explained his identity, then got straight to business. Since his position was captain in Tokyo Public Safety, the principal’s attitude immediately became very polite.
On top of that, Fang Rou’s entrance exam results back in Hong Kong had already been pretty good and could be used as a reference. She more or less met the admission standards for the junior high division.
Tokyo Sakusai Senior High School had both a junior high division and a senior high division. The one Fang Rou was about to enter was naturally the junior high division, which meant middle school.
Normally, the junior high division of Tokyo Sakusai Senior High School required an entrance exam. Only students who passed could officially enroll, but the principal waived it for Fang Rou.
There was only one real condition. Before school started, she had to learn Japanese to at least the N5 threshold, so she would at least have some basic foundation.
Originally, Tokyo Sakusai Senior High School’s junior high division required international students to have at least an N3 level in Japanese. This was already a major lowering of the threshold for Fang Rou.
Once she enrolled, the teachers would give Fang Rou special attention in the early stages, and after that, it would be up to her to slowly adapt on her own.
There were still about two weeks before school started. If she worked hard enough, reaching an N5 level was definitely achievable.
After discussing the specific details with the principal, all they had to do was wait for school to begin.
Incidentally, the school term after summer break was already the second semester.
Almost all of Japanese schools had three semesters, so they also had spring break, summer break, and winter break.
In other words, the semester after spring break was the start of the new school year. Fang Rou starting from the second semester meant she was transferring in midway, so even with teachers looking after her, her own effort would still be very important.
When they left the school, Kotone Asaba asked Fang Rou, "How much have you learned so far? You should still be working on the kana, right?"
"Yeah, I’ve almost learned them all. I feel like if I practice and memorize them a little more, I’ll have them down."
Fang Rou said.
"With the time you have left, reaching N5 won’t be too hard. Keep it up."
Kotone Asaba said.
In his previous life, he had taught himself some Japanese too. He had only tried learning it casually because he liked anime, so he knew what kind of standard and difficulty N5 had.
Back then, he had only studied for a little over a month before passing the N5 exam. If Fang Rou stayed focused and worked hard enough, she would definitely have no problem.
"Mm-hm. I’ll do my best."
Fang Rou nodded.
Now that Fang Rou’s situation was mostly settled, Kotone Asaba had to deal with Denji’s affairs next.
Denji was currently at the experimental base in the Soviet Union and would not be able to come back for at least two years. The school he had originally attended definitely needed to be dealt with. He had to complete the withdrawal procedure.
Handling the withdrawal was very quick. Kotone transferred straight to the school through the Kamui dimension, explained the reason, and that was that.
A peaceful stretch of days passed.
Nothing particularly special happened during this period. It was just daily life together and raising Affinity.

By now, summer break was almost over, and Kobeni more or less had to return to Chiba to prepare for going back to school.
Kotone Asaba brought Kobeni back to Chiba through the Kamui dimension.
Kotone had originally wondered whether he should have Kobeni transfer to Tokyo for her third year of high school, but after thinking it over, he decided against it. Kobeni had her own classmates and friends in Chiba. Suddenly making her get used to a new environment and say goodbye to her old friends would probably be pretty difficult for her.
Just then, Kotone Asaba received a call from Yuki Kirisu.
"We have another fairly important mission for you recently. We received a prophecy from the Future Devil. It said Tokyo Sakusai Senior High School will experience quite a few Devil incidents in succession in the near future."
"Tokyo Sakusai Senior High School? How soon is the near future?"
Kotone Asaba had previously thought Tokyo Sakusai Senior High School would be relatively safe, but now he was getting this news. Fang Rou was about to start school there too.
"That Future Devil bastard won’t give us a specific time. We can’t force him either. What I mean is, I want you to lie low at Tokyo Sakusai Senior High School for a while, wait until those Devil incidents start happening one after another, then deal with them yourselves."
"You mean you want us to go over there as students?"
"More or less. Your appearance isn’t really any different from those high school boys anyway."
"I’ll think about it. School is starting soon anyway."
After hanging up, Kotone Asaba thought for a while.
He usually had nothing to do anyway, so going to school as a student and waiting to solve Devil incidents was fine.
And he also remembered that Reze and Makima had never gone to school before. Letting them experience it while they were at it seemed pretty nice too.
Kotone Asaba immediately returned home and discussed the matter with Reze and Makima.
"Yuki Kirisu told me something today. Tokyo Sakusai Senior High School, the one ranked second in Tokyo, is going to have several Devil incidents in the near future. Simply put, she wants us to go over there, disguise ourselves as students, and protect the school."
Kotone Asaba said, "But we don’t need to deliberately disguise ourselves. We’ll just enroll normally, then go to school normally like those high school students."
"Going to school, huh? Back when I was in military training, I learned a lot of knowledge, but I’ve never actually gone to school before."
Reze immediately sighed with emotion.
"I’m going."
Makima barely hesitated.
The reason she wanted to go was simply because Kotone Asaba was going too.
"Looks like none of you have any objections. Then let’s go talk to the principal now."
After confirming Reze and Makima’s intentions, Kotone Asaba immediately brought Reze and Makima straight to Tokyo Sakusai Senior High School.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the principal’s office. The last time Kotone Asaba had come here, he had left a coordinate at this spot, and it was already useful this quickly.
"Captain Asaba? What brings you here this time?"
When he saw Kotone Asaba push the door open and enter, Principal Zenji Yoshimura could not help asking.
Then he saw two young girls entering with Kotone Asaba, and Zenji Yoshimura thought to himself that he was probably here to have two more girls enroll.
As an ordinary person, Zenji Yoshimura could not tell that Makima was a Devil at all, and he certainly could not tell that Reze was a Hybrid.
"There is indeed something rather important. We received some information. The following are Miss Kirisu’s exact words as the Tokyo Public Safety chief..."
Kotone Asaba told Principal Yoshimura exactly what Yuki Kirisu had said.
"There will be consecutive Devil incidents?!"
Zenji Yoshimura’s expression immediately changed.
Right at that moment, the landline on the desk rang.
"Excuse me. I need to take this call."
Zenji Yoshimura immediately answered the phone, and the person on the other end was Yuki Kirisu.
"Yes... yes... all right... I understand."
After receiving the same notice from Yuki Kirisu, Zenji Yoshimura no longer doubted whether it was true.
He realized how serious the situation was.
After all, even one occasional Devil incident in the past could cause severe consequences.
Since Devils appeared too suddenly every time, even if the school’s preventive measures were extremely detailed, they still could not avoid students being injured or even killed. The school had to bear all responsibility in that regard.
They could barely withstand one occasional Devil incident.
But if several Devil incidents happened in succession, the blow to the entire school would undoubtedly be enormous.
Zenji Yoshimura also learned from Yuki Kirisu that the Special Division was Tokyo Public Safety’s most elite special squad, and that the three people in front of him were members of the Special Division.
They needed to enter the senior high division under fabricated identities as transfer students, which would allow them to investigate freely every day and respond in time when Devil incidents suddenly broke out.
Naturally, Zenji Yoshimura could not have wished harder for Tokyo Public Safety to come protect the school.
And so, Kotone Asaba, Reze, and Makima became third-year students in the senior high division as transfer students.
Although Reze and Makima had never gone to school before, with Reze’s broad knowledge and learning ability, third-year high school coursework was no pressure for her at all.
The same went for Makima. Her intelligence and learning ability were also bug-level.
Kotone Asaba went without saying. The learning ability brought to him by his Mangekyo Sharingan was also a bug.
The class they were about to enter was second-year Class 4, a college-prep class. To look after them, Principal Yoshimura did not place them in the advanced class, fearing academic pressure would hinder them and stop them from properly investigating.
After all, Kotone Asaba and the others would be acting in secret. Even if the teachers were reminded to give them extra consideration, they could not look after them too obviously, or else it would arouse the suspicion and even dissatisfaction of the other students.
For example, if a student with terrible grades was in the advanced class, yet the teachers never cared and the student spent every day doing strange things, the other students would definitely become suspicious after seeing it.
It was not that Principal Yoshimura looked down on Kotone Asaba and the others. After all, Public Safety Devil Hunters had to stay busy with work and were not in school in the first place. Now they had to work while pretending to go to school, and they were transferring in midway through the second semester too. Thinking they could keep up in the advanced class was simply unrealistic under normal circumstances.
Principal Yoshimura had originally wanted to place them in a regular first-year class, since regular first-year classes had the lowest academic pressure.
Second-year Class 4, the college-prep class, had been Kotone Asaba’s own suggestion. In the end, Principal Yoshimura respected his opinion.
Kotone Asaba did not go out of his way to explain his, Reze’s, and Makima’s learning ability.
He chose the second-year level and the college-prep class because he felt it was fine to take a middle option. A college-prep class was also between a regular class and an advanced class.
Tomorrow was the first day of school, and the entrance ceremony would be the day after.
After returning home, Reze said expectantly, "I’m really looking forward to it. School starts tomorrow."
"Just enjoy school life for now. I don’t know when those Devils will show up."
Kotone Asaba said casually, "We’re going to school tomorrow, so let’s try on the uniforms first."
When they had just left the school, Principal Yoshimura had already given each of them two sets of summer uniforms for the senior high division.
The uniform fees and all tuition were free. After all, Principal Yoshimura was the one begging them to come protect the school. There was no way he would charge them for it.
Although Kotone Asaba did not care about that bit of money either, since Principal Yoshimura refused to take it, he did not say anything more.
After that, Kotone Asaba, Reze, and Makima tried on the uniforms. They all fit fairly well, and they looked pretty good too.
Since Reze had eternal youth, while Makima would grow but would not age, the two of them looked completely like high school girls after putting on the uniforms.
Kotone Asaba was the same. His body would never age again either.
"Koto, how do I look in this?"
Reze slowly turned in a circle in front of Kotone Asaba, wanting him to evaluate her.
"Good. It fits you really well."
Kotone Asaba then said to Makima too, "Same for you, Makima. You look exactly like a high school girl now."
"By the way... Makima, did you get a little taller?"
Kotone Asaba suddenly realized Makima seemed to have grown a little.
In the original story, Nayuta had grown quickly, and Makima was also the Control Devil, so it was normal for her to grow this quickly.
With the Mangekyo Sharingan, he could tell that Makima had not only grown a little taller, but her figure had also become somewhat better. There was almost no excess fat on her body, and everything that should have curves had curves.
In other words, she was looking more and more like Makima from the original timeline.
When Reze heard Kotone Asaba say that, her gaze immediately began carefully sizing Makima up. She realized it really was exactly as Kotone Asaba had said.
"You’re right. Her figure really does seem better."
This surprised her. She had not expected a human-shaped Devil’s body to develop too.
Although there was no reaction on Makima’s face, she was actually quite pleased inside, especially when she felt Reze’s envious gaze.
"Ugh, I’m so jealous..."
Reze could not help sighing softly. "Too bad I underwent the Hybrid experiment so early. After that, my body couldn’t develop anymore."
She had suffered severe malnutrition when she was very young because she was an orphan. Later, although she ate and slept well in the experimental base, it was already rather late. Her figure only developed to its current level. After that, once she became a Hybrid, she could no longer develop at all.
