Seeing this, Aozaki Touko smiled, quickly looked away, and asked the others, "Does anyone else have anything to ask? If not, get out of class will be over today."
"I have!"
A pink-haired girl raised his hand and said in a clear and excited voice, "Teacher Touko, are you free to go on a date with me today? I will personally cook to entertain Teacher Touko."
"Hmm... still not free~"
Aozaki Touko's face remained unchanged and he refused with a smile.
"When will Teacher Touko be free?"
Pink-haired girl frowned and asked, "I have learned cooking skills for a long time. It would be a pity if Teacher Touko could never eat it."
"... Then you can choose to bring it to me~"
Aozaki Touko said angrily.

Chapter 105 Department of Creation Lord
A cafe.
"The old lady who is still in trouble tonight wants to make an appointment with me, so we can chat next time when we have a chance~"
Aozaki Touko put down the finished coffee cup with a gentle smile on her pretty face, "But, lovely lady, I hope you won't be so nervous next time."
"I won't be so rude next time~"
Lorona lowered his head with a rosy face, and his shy voice was as soft as a feather.
She is somewhat unable to adapt to dealing with beings that are too dazzling. If they are of a similar status to herself, or are very familiar with them, she can get along with them naturally without appearing at a loss.
"Really? I hope you can speak freely when the time comes."
Aozaki Touko smiled gently and left the cafe with a cheerful step.
After taking some time to communicate with this little girl, I found that this girl named Lorona is indeed worthy of the title of alchemy genius, and I plan to have more contact with this girl. If it meets her wishes, I can consider taking her as an assistant.
If the girl can show a talent of sufficient value during this period, she will choose to let the Animsphere family take the "contract" to find Atlas Institute, along with some relevant information about Philosopher's Stone.
"It seems that Teacher Touko recognizes your talent."
In the cafe, the blond boy poked his head out from across the table and smiled excitedly, "Lorona If you can perform well next time, Teacher Touko might accept you as an assistant, and your life will be dozens of times smoother."
"It's not that simple... The name of genius has no value at all with Teacher Touko."
Lorona turned his head and looked at the blond boy, and said a little unconfidently, "Moreover, for an existence like Teacher Touko who stands at the pinnacle of the devil's path, the terrifying requirements are also unimaginably strict."
To be honest, if she could become Teacher Touko's assistant, apart from the parts that could be learned, the resources Teacher Touko would have would be a dream-level existence for her.
"Even if you fail, there is nothing to regret~"
The blond boy stood up and walked to table Lorona and sat down. He rarely became serious and said:
"Lorona, if you want to go further in alchemy, you will need to spend an unimaginable amount of money. Without the wealth accumulated over many generations, your future will only be bumpy. However, if there is a being like Teacher Touko who is willing to support you, your talent in alchemy can be fully utilized."
"Even if you say so... I don't know how to make Touko recognize me~"
Lorona frowned, feeling even more distressed.
To be honest, even if she wants to return to the classroom now, and then live a life of three o'clock and one line, silently studying alchemy, silently attending lectures, and then silently going home to rest, it is enough.
However, if you want to make progress in the magical life, money will never be able to bypass the natural barrier.
"Lorona Would you consider wearing a maid outfit and sending yourself to Teacher Touko's bed?"
The blond boy suddenly suggested with a serious face. "Since Teacher Touko said that he likes women, then seduction can also be taken into consideration."
"You have a problem~"
Lorona twitched the corner of his mouth, and then said distressedly, "Besides, this path is not feasible. I don't feel that Teacher Touko has this tendency towards me."
Granted, she can be considered a... beautiful girl. She is quite familiar and sensitive to the gazes of the opposite sex attracted to her. She will also make a judgment in her mind whether she looks at her with dirty eyes.
However, Teacher Touko's eyes were not mixed with these at all. If Touko was not using his sexuality as a shield, then he was probably not interested in her.
"Well... even a beautiful girl like Lorona doesn't respond,"
The blond boy touched his chin and thought, "It seems...Teacher Touko is indeed a straight woman. The reason why she is so indifferent is because she has not mastered the correct way to pursue her."
(I think if it weren't for your teacher's ethics... you would have been severely beaten by Teacher Touko.)
Watching his friend talking to himself, Lorona thought with a subtle expression.
*******
Night, Clock Tower.
Department of Creation, Lord in the office.
This extremely modern office is filled with trendy culture in every corner. If someone said it was Magecraft's room, almost no one would believe it.
However, this is indeed a quest for the past Magecraft division's office.
"This must be our first meeting, Aozaki Touko?"
An old woman smiled softly and looked at the girl opposite with interest.
The girl opposite was someone she specially invited to meet. She wasn't planning to discuss any major deals or establish a social circle, it was just because she was very curious about this girl.
What kind of existence is this famous genius in Clock Tower? Is he so proud and arrogant, has a hypocritical smile, or is he a pure Magecraft master.
"If my memory is correct, it should be the first time we met."
Aozaki Touko sat on the sofa and looked at the old woman opposite without any secret.
This old woman has noble silver hair like a wolf and wears a fashionable green dress. Although her face is full of wrinkles, she gives people an impression of vitality.
She knew this old woman. Aozaki Touko's teacher in the original work was Lord of Department of Creation, a female Magecraft teacher named 'Inorai·Balgeletta·Atolohom'.
"Hahahaha"
Inorai laughed happily and said cheerfully, "It would be a terrible thing if a genius like you could have memory errors."
"That's too much praise. I'm just an ordinary Magecraft master."
Aozaki Touko smiled gently, but his eyes were as calm as ice.
Although this old woman appears to be very easy to get along with, she is actually a cold Master Magecraft in her heart. In the original work, she is the Aozaki Touko positioning and designated seal of her beloved disciple, who is highly recommended.
Although now she is not afraid of the master of the original Touko at all. If she can think about it, at such a close distance, it probably doesn't take more than a second to twist off the head of this Department of Creation Lord.
However, there is still some vigilance in my heart.
"You should know about the Clock Tower faction struggle, Aristocratic Faction, Democratic Faction, Neutral Faction"
Inorai shook his head and smiled, took out a bottle of red wine from under the table and opened the cork with his fingers, then got a glass for himself and Aozaki Touko.
"Because of your grades and birth, to a certain extent, you are a symbol of Democratic Faction in Clock Tower, and you are definitely not an ordinary Magecraft teacher."
"So, you called me here this time to draw me into the political struggle?"
Aozaki Touko picked up the red wine glass and took a sip and asked.
"Let's just say it's within the scope of this conversation~"
Inorai nodded calmly and admitted that she did want to completely pull this talented girl into the Democratic Faction camp. After all, the mere existence of this girl has great significance.

Chapter 106: Lure him with benefits
"... It's just right for you to ask me these questions at this time~"
Aozaki Touko shook the red wine glass and chuckled softly, "If you had come to ask me after the Grand ceremony, I might have left London."
"So, would you like to take this opportunity to share your thoughts?"
Inorai showed curious eyes, wanting to know what this genius was thinking.
"Well... because it doesn't mean much to me. I really haven't thought about these issues carefully."
Aozaki Touko tilted his head and said with a smile, "To me, joining the confrontation between factions is a very meaningless thing. I don't even know the end of the universe now. If I waste energy on boring political struggles, in my opinion, it is a huge loss."
"It's really the pure idea of Master Magecraft."
Inorai laughed heartily, "Now that Clock Tower's Magecraft division is focusing on the struggle for power, it may have long surpassed Vortex of the Root's pursuit."
"You may have misunderstood... I am not a pure Magecraft master~"
Aozaki Touko smiled slightly and said warmly, "If I had to make a priority choice, I would probably choose to stay with my family."
"Judging from the information I have received, Touko, you work much harder than the average Magecraft master. You basically devote all your time to the study of magic."
Inorai took a sip of red wine and asked, "If it is not to pursue Vortex of the Root, then what is the motivation to support you?"
"I'm not obligated to answer you, right?"
Aozaki Touko said coldly, then smiled gently and said, "But, I don't mind telling you, just to make Xin Xin talk to me calmly."
"Speak calmly?"
Inorai's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, and he did not immediately clarify his thoughts. But at this time, Aozaki Touko picked up the red wine glass and took a sip, smiling and saying:
"Well, as long as I put a gun to someone's head, I believe that even the most grumpy person will calmly reason with me,"
"Hahahahahahaha that's right!"
Inorai laughed loudly, and after a while, she stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears from her eyes, and said with great approval:
"Absolutely, absolutely, definitely, you will be very calm. Even if you ask them to call you mom, they will definitely do it willingly."
"... Forget it about being a mother, I have no interest in being a mother~"
Aozaki Touko complained, tilted his head and said, "To get back to the subject, I have enough resources myself, plus the rights indirectly controlled by Clock Tower, it is enough for me to use, so I really have no reason to participate in these boring political games."
"It is precisely because of this that Touko you have extraordinary appeal."
Inorai said cheerfully, "You are outside the Clock Tower political struggle, but you have extraordinary influence. You funded Celestial Mechanics, and Animusphere Family should be your loyal dog now."
"Then Department of Botany the next Lord Lidell is your best friend, Department of Mineralogy the next Lord, Kayneth·Elmeloy Archibalud is your suitor."
"If Touko you work well, you will definitely become a great guy in Clock Tower."
It was not a flattering statement, on the contrary, she said less. The current reputation and power of Aozaki Touko in Clock Tower are actually higher than most people imagine. Even the famous demonic sects with long inheritance are capable of facing it.
After Aozaki Touko completes the Grand ceremony seven days later, she will even be dyed with some sacred colors in the hearts of ordinary Magecraft masters. Especially for those Magecraft masters of Democratic Faction, Aozaki Touko will become a lighthouse-like existence.
Because, the existence of Aozaki Touko proves one thing, that is, you can achieve success in the magic path by relying on your own talent and hard work.
Even if Aozaki Touko herself doesn't care about this matter, Democratic Faction's Magecraft teacher will hold her up high to prove that Democratic Faction's theory is correct.
And even if Aozaki Touko herself doesn't care about this matter, it doesn't stop people from holding her up high and using her as an example to prove Democratic Faction's theory.
"... Should I say that you political creatures tend to overthink~"
Aozaki Touko said with a faint smile, "But if I want to pursue a position of power, it is my style to elevate myself to the point where I can get everything as a matter of course."
That's right, instead of trying her best to play the power game, she prefers to improve her own strength and use absolute punching power to get everything she wants.
"What a cool way to live."
Inorai drank the red wine in the glass and said with a playful look, "Next, let's talk about interesting topics."
"Interesting topic?"
Aozaki Touko blinked with curiosity.
She now had a hunch that this old woman was going to really attack her now, not in the casual way of getting along with her before, but in a way that would actually win her over.
"Touko... Your sexual orientation is twisted, right?"
Inorai poured the red wine into the glass again and asked in a casual tone, "I have heard the rumors about you at Clock Tower. It is said that you prefer beautiful women, and you married a beautiful silver-haired lady, and you have an ambiguous relationship with that girl Lidell."
"... Except for the ambiguous relationship between Lidell, all other information was sent out intentionally by me."
Aozaki Touko chuckled and said, "However, these words I said are not false. I do like beautiful people more."
"Really?"
Inorai smiled mysteriously and asked, "So, Touko do you want someone more beautiful?"
