Seeing others only discussing work, Eiji lost interest in eavesdropping any longer and promptly left before anyone happened to spot him.
Of course, he knew what the Staff of Destruction was. In fact, it wasn't a magic staff but an M-72 LAW rocket launcher.
Thirty years ago, Osmond was attacked by a dragon. Before being eaten, an American soldier from the Vietnam War appeared out of nowhere and used a rocket launcher to kill the dragon.
The soldier who saved Osmond was severely injured and soon died, although Osmond tried to take care of him. The soldier brought two rocket launchers with him at the time, but because people didn't understand the technology, they believed it to be a magical weapon and called it the Staff of Destruction. One was buried with the soldier, and the other was handed over to the Royal Palace and kept at the Tristain Academy of Magic.
'The phenomenon of people from Earth accidentally coming to this world seems quite high, I'm a little curious about the cause...'
Even with Lin Fan's memories, Eiji couldn't find the answer.
'If I knew the secret behind the arrival of Earthlings, I might be able to return to my original world.'
Sitting on a pillar, Eiji pondered this issue seriously.
So far, the Cursed Energy in his body was still empty and showed no signs of replenishing. It would be a lie if he didn't feel anxious.
Considering the worst-case scenario, if his Cursed Energy couldn't recover in this world for unknown reasons, he began to consider seeking another method to return to his original world.
"Even if I'm lucky enough to find a method of inter-world travel between this world and Earth, it might not be the Earth I know. It's not just a difference between worlds, but different universes.'
'Could it be that I may never be able to return?'
This notion made Eiji lose his composure. Unbeknownst to him, his facial expression grew grim.
In fact, he realized that this wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He didn't need to worry about Sukuna and Kenjaku threatening the world; he could live without being constrained by almost no one being his opponent even without the Limitless Technique.
Eiji could even fulfill his dream of living an ordinary life that he always wanted.
'I can't live peacefully by leaving all my acquaintances in the original world. What's the difference from being a coward who runs away? I don't want to live like a loser.'
Thinking about the future made him more determined to return even though his original world was filled with dangers everywhere.
No matter what, the Jujutsu World is where he was born and grew up. He refused to escape and ignore everything that was most important to him.
"Now, where to next?"
Being silent would only fill his head with negative thoughts, so Eiji wanted to keep busy to avoid thinking about such things.
"Oh right, I haven't checked on the guy from before. If I remember correctly, the headmaster called him Count Mott. Let's go check on him; I feel like I'll be involved with him."
The Six Eyes emitted blue light, indicating the emotions of the user, and the Tristain Academy of Magic was within Eiji's surveillance range. Except for commoners undetected by the Six Eyes, anyone with magical energy in their bodies was not exempt from the Six Eyes.
"Found you!"
Moments later, Eiji detected Count Mott's magical energy.
*Whoosh*
Eiji's figure moved very quickly, and the naked eye couldn't see him.
❀❀❀
"Then I'll give you until evening; I hope to get a good answer, Siesta."
"Understood, Lord Mott."
In the quiet corridor, Count Mott stroked his mustache and turned to leave.
Siesta, slightly bending, straightened her back after the sound of footsteps disappeared.
Her facial expression looked weary, then she went on to continue her work.
The two of them were unaware that a third party overheard their conversation.
"True, there's something like this."
Staring coldly at Count Mott's departure, Eiji muttered softly.
Initially, he was just curious and wanted to watch Count Mott's activities to pass the time.
Under his covert surveillance, Count Mott happened to see Siesta working.
There's no ugly appearance of a heroine; instead, each heroine is very beautiful with different temperaments to win the protagonist's affection.
How could Count Mott, a lecherous nobleman, not be interested in Siesta, the heroine of this world? Moreover, Siesta is a commoner, making her an easy target in the eyes of nobles.
Count Mott didn't expect to find a beautiful woman working as a maid at the Tristain Academy of Magic. Not wanting to miss this opportunity, he offered her an invitation to work at his residence as a maid.
Of course, that wasn't his true intention. When a nobleman calls a young girl, it's tantamount to making her a mistress.
Siesta also understood this, which is why she was in a dilemma. Refusing Count Mott's invitation could impact her family. It's very easy for nobles to cause trouble for commoners.
"..."
With his intelligence, how could Eiji not understand all of this?
"Normally, this would just be a small arc that Hiraga Saito would resolve to improve his impression in Siesta's heart. Even without me doing anything, nothing bad would happen to Siesta except for sexual harassment during the period she worked at Count Mott's house. But..."
"Siesta isn't just a heroine; she has taken care of me and treated me despite the risk of being fired if caught. I can't just stand by and watch her being harassed by that lecherous nobleman."
If it were any other heroine like Louise, Kirche, Tabitha, Tiffania, or even Henrietta, Eiji wouldn't care even if he saw them in trouble.
But Siesta is special.
Eiji will be kind to those who are kind to her. He is a man who knows how to repay kindness.
"The price for your ill intentions towards Siesta is death." He said firmly.
Then, he hurried to follow Count Mott.
It's currently break time, and there are many people wandering in the corridors. Eiji could only wait for the other party to be in a secluded place.
"There are many beautiful women here."
Count Mott couldn't help but have lewd thoughts when he saw the women around him. However, he didn't dare to be reckless and only watched silently.
There are many nobles here who have a higher status than him. He didn't want to provoke the wrong person, which is why he walked around hoping to find a maid as beautiful as Siesta, then offer them to work at his residence.
He didn't realize there was a figure following him wherever he went. His focus was only on the maids busy working, but he was disappointed not to find a woman as beautiful as Siesta among them.
And so, time passed without him realizing the sun was starting to set.
The agreed-upon time arrived, and Count Mott wanted to meet Siesta and hear her answer.
-There's no more time.'
Realizing the other party wanted to meet Siesta, Eiji felt powerless as they never went to secluded places.
But it wasn't a problem for him to kill.
His hand easily crushed a small pillar, grabbing a shard of stone, Eiji aimed at Count Mott. Next, he threw the stone in his hand.
*Whoosh*
The stone shot out like a bullet.
*Pu-chi*
A popping sound was heard. After that, a small hole appeared in Count Mott's head.
"Eh?"
Count Mott still didn't understand what had happened; his body slumped to the floor, and his signs of life faded at an alarming rate.
His body convulsed, and blood seeped onto the floor.
"Kyaaaa!!!"
A female student screamed loudly at the sight.
The sound of the scream drew the attention of others.
Realizing someone was dead, mass panic ensued.
'I wanted to inflict pain on him before he died. It's a shame there's no chance.'
Seeing patrol officers gathering and students panicking, Eiji decided to leave before he was discovered.
