It took a full three days before Principal Yaga finished his business and returned.
Not only was that a day longer than he had expected, but the first thing he did upon returning was gather everyone still on campus and thoroughly inspect the school for anything amiss.
Everyone took this seriously. Even Satoru Gojo was called back.
They checked everything, from the school's stockpiles to the barriers around Master Tengen's residence, and even the entire underground area.
As a result, the Spirit-Gathering Array Aikawa Kaze had secretly bribed the little monsters to excavate underground could no longer stay hidden. It left him feeling rather awkward.

Fortunately, Satoru Gojo had always been willing to take responsibility for things like this.
Before Aikawa Kaze could confess in hopes of leniency, Satoru Gojo brazenly admitted that although Kaze had developed the array, he was the one who had ordered people to dig it.
Satoru Gojo had always done whatever he pleased and remained as shamelessly unrestrained as ever. After furiously giving him a thorough dressing-down, Principal Yaga could do nothing else about him.
