Nakama Island then explained the specifics for Beichuan Si.

They had spent half of yesterday not only identifying Fukuda's friends but even went as far as to individually inquire about the situation.

But those people didn't know anything about a mountain "hiding the Disaster Box"... What they knew was just the rumors circulating online or passed along by word of mouth.

"Of course, this does not exclude the possibility that they are all lying... If Brother Beichuan needs it, I can have those people brought over right now."

Despite Nakama Island's considerate suggestion, Beichuan Si seemed somewhat indifferent.

He glanced sideways at Nakazato Aya, who was standing beside Nakama Island, "How about your end? Do you have the specific location of the mountain?"

"Yest, yesterday I made a phone call... My friend told me they still have a clear memory of that mountain... and later they sent me the location..."

Nakazato Aya took out her phone with trembling hands, opened the navigation map, fumbled around for a bit, and carefully showed the navigation content on her phone to Beichuan Si.

It was an unnamed mountainous area located near the Yuyuan Mountain Area in Yamanashi Prefecture.

From here, it would only take half an hour by bus to reach the nearest bus stop in that vicinity.

The location of the Disaster Box had been acquired.

Beichuan Si flicked his fingers.

The only issue now was Fukuda's friend who remained hidden in the shadows.

The person had eluded Nakama Island and had not been found...

But this was also within Beichuan Si's expectations.

After all, from the beginning, Beichuan Si had held little hope for Nakama Island's gang of delinquents to find the person hiding in the dark.

Since that person dared to spread rumors about the Disaster Box, it meant they had taken corresponding measures to hide.

Just relying on these delinquent students to find the individual in half a day... was simply too difficult.

Thinking this, Beichuan Si did not hesitate, swiftly glanced at the phone screen, and after a moment of thought said, "That's enough for now, Nakazato, you will be responsible for taking me to the place where the Disaster Box is hidden... You don't have any objections, right?"

"I..."

Upon hearing this, Nakazato Aya's face went pale; she seemed to want to refuse, but upon seeing the expandable baton Beichuan Si had taken out at some point... she dared not say anything more.

Seeing her expression of wanting to speak but afraid to speak, Beichuan Si gently swung the baton in his hand and said with understanding, "What's wrong? If you want to refuse, you can say so."

"No, I don't have any objections."

Nakazato Aya shook her head frantically.

"That really is a shame."

A shame? A shame for what? What exactly do you want to do with that baton to me?

Nakazato Aya's face was ashen.

Beichuan Si did not look at Nakazato Aya's expression; he simply shook his head and tossed the baton back to a delinquent student behind him.

Since Nakazato volunteered to lead them to the mountainous area hiding the Disaster Box, the rest should be easy to handle.

Beichuan Si planned to first visit the location of the shrine to get a better sense of the situation and then devise the next steps based on the specific circumstances there.

Regarding the delinquent students still gathered together...

Beichuan Si subconsciously looked over.

The number of people today had increased rather than decreased compared to yesterday.

Many delinquent students who hadn't seen the specifics of yesterday's events were staring at him with sparkling eyes, seemingly eager to have another go at 'one-on-one against a group'.

Sensing all these varied gazes, Beichuan Si decisively waved his hand:

"Just disband here. Go and do your own things."

"Ah?"

Nakama Island opened his mouth, looking a bit troubled.

"Um, Brother Beichuan... Today all the students from Hirakawa High School who admire you are here... If possible... could you please give our little organization a name?"

"????" Beichuan Si.

Name it?

For a moment, Beichuan Si really didn't understand these students.

Even though these students had nothing remarkable about them and spent their days obsessed with "forming groups" and "clique-building," especially since I'd beaten them just yesterday, they still revered me so much.

What was this about?

The more they were beaten, the happier they became?

But even though I say that… these delinquent students had indeed given me some help… I ought to say a word of encouragement at least.

Contemplating this, Beichuan Si looked at Nakamashima and the delinquents behind him, and said evenly, "Rather than that... I think your current task ought to be to study seriously. No one is ever going to respect you if you loaf around doing nothing."

As he said this, the delinquents exchanged glances, and then Nakamashima asked uncertainly, "D... Does Brother Beichuan mean... that you'll only recognize us if we study seriously?"

There was nothing much wrong with what he said.

Indeed, those who work hard to study and improve in areas where they're not skilled deserve respect.

Thinking this, Beichuan Si silently nodded, tacitly agreeing with Nakamashima's remark.

But Beichuan Si's silence didn't mean Shen Gu Mirai would keep quiet.

"Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire. Mr. Temple is not forcing you to study while he himself does not," she chirped, dropping a bombshell: "At Kyubei, he has always had the second-best grades."

"What?! Brother Beichuan managed to get the second-best grades at Kyubei High School, which is especially famous in Bunkyo District?"

"Studying and griefing with cliques and groups... Is it really possible to manage both?"

The delinquent students began to discuss among themselves.

Seeing that the conversation was veering off track, Beichuan Si frowned and changed the subject: "Let's leave it at that for now. Nakazato, take me to that mountain; the rest of you go do whatever you need to."

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to the delinquents behind him and gestured for Shen Gu Mirai and Nakazato Aya to leave.

Watching his retreating silhouette, Nakamashima called out with excited emotion, "Lesson learned! Brother Beichuan!"

Beichuan Si didn't stop at his words; he continued to walk on and soon disappeared from the delinquents' view.

"Brother Nakama... what should we do now?"

Seeing the leading figure Beichuan Si leaving, someone couldn't help but ask.

"What should we do?"

Nakamashima snorted coldly, his profile facing his former underlings, his tone laden with a sense of disappointment: "Don't you understand Brother Beichuan's meaning yet?"

"Eh? Didn't Brother Beichuan just tell us to study?"

Someone was perplexed.

"Heh." Nakamashima chuckled disdainfully, "That's exactly why you'll always be underlings! You don't even understand Brother Beichuan's implicit message!"

He lifted his gaze again, his face bandaged and filled with longing as he looked in the direction where Beichuan Si had disappeared:

"Brother Beichuan means that only if we study seriously and achieve his level of academic performance will he acknowledge us as his underlings!"

Nakamashima trembled with excitement: "He is telling us that only by fully managing both studies and the underworld can we catch up to his pace!"

After saying this, he started walking away, silent and determined to leave.

"Brother Nakama! What are you going to do?"

Someone followed and asked.

"I'm going to study!"

Nakamashima didn't even turn his head.

It was as if he had been given a second wind in life, finding a new goal, "I've decided! I want to be a delinquent like Brother Beichuan!"

The delinquent students looked at one another in bewilderment.

Then—

"Wait for me! Brother Nakama!"

"With Brother Beichuan gone, for now, we'll have to follow Brother Nakama! We have to study seriously too! Someday... definitely... we'll become like Brother Beichuan!"

These students quickly followed in Nakamashima's footsteps.

After this, Nakamashima, leading a virtually reborn group of delinquents… changed the entire disciplinary atmosphere of Hirakawa Private High School.

Even many delinquents were admitted to relatively prestigious universities...

And the name of Kyubei North Demon King Beichuan Si... began to spread beyond Bunkyo District.
