In front of the Six Eyes prodigy that only came once in a hundred years, and a Cursed Spirit Manipulator with total control over his technique, they definitely had the ability to kill them all.
And on top of that, the plants from the Jujutsu High side—whose exact effects the higher-ups still didn't fully understand.

Chihori: "Violence doesn't solve anything when you're on the wrong side."

Rotten Oranges: "...We're the wrong side?"

Chihori: "Wow, you're actually self-aware."

Rotten Oranges: Hey!!

"Relax, everyone." Chihori's eyes curved into a smile. "Most of the time, we're all law-abiding citizens—just that the talk we're about to have is better held behind closed doors."

"You've been wanting a serious conversation with us about the plants anyway, haven't you?" She lifted her bright green eyes and blinked.

The higher-ups' expressions subtly shifted.

Yes, the way this meeting had been set up, they were indeed planning to have a serious—and very much threatening—talk with the Jujutsu High group about the plants.
But the situation wasn't supposed to be like this...
They weren't supposed to be the ones on the back foot.

The tension still crackled through the room, the air dragging heavily.

Yaga hadn't spoken since the start. He simply watched his students, unreadable.
The other higher-ups glanced toward their leader, waiting for his next move.

Finally—

The elder at the top narrowed his murky eyes, exhaled slowly, and gave a slight nod as a sign of compromise.
"...Very well. Since you've already secured the area, let's sit down and have that talk."

System message: [Now that the cannon's been set up, we can finally have a nice, civil chat. (relieved)]

Plants were going to bring massive changes to the jujutsu world.
They could seriously help with the sorcerer shortage, ease the stress on jujutsu sorcerers, lower the death toll, and make exorcising curses way more efficient.
Widespread planting could even form full-scale plant defense lines.

Of course, they weren't about to tell the higher-ups everything.
They only shared a carefully selected portion of the info about the plants.

To spread the plants more widely and efficiently, they did need to borrow the strength of an existing official institution—the jujutsu world's higher-ups—to help regulate and guide things with some kind of authority.

But that cooperation definitely couldn't happen under the old system.
If they kept everything the same, the higher-ups would only get more reckless.

Chihori: [We have to smash the Rotten Oranges into marmalade first, or they'll just roll away and get in the way. =w=]

The meeting lasted a long time. The contents weren't made up on the spot, of course—
Satoru and Suguru had planned it all in advance, and Yaga had contributed his suggestions.
Shoko and Chihori added in the final details later on.

In the end, both sides reached a binding agreement.

The existing structure could mostly stay in place, and the higher-ups would still lead the jujutsu world—
That part came from Yaga.
The jujutsu world's basic framework was already established. Breaking it apart too quickly would make it nearly impossible to build something new in time—and would only lead to chaos.

However, the higher-ups' authority within the jujutsu world had been downsized. It was made clear that the two sides were in a cooperative relationship—not one of leader and subordinate. Along with this shift came several other related institutional reforms.

During the cooperation period, people from Jujutsu High and those affiliated with it would be responsible for ensuring the higher-ups' safety—they weren't allowed to attack them. Likewise, the higher-ups and their affiliates were no longer allowed to assign charges or punishments at will, and mission assignments would now require approval.

Jujutsu High would focus on cultivating plants and conducting research,
while the higher-ups... would be responsible for manual labor—raising pigs to get rich.

......

At that moment, Yaga displayed the aura befitting a Supreme Pig Cult Leader
(Masamichi Yaga: That's the aura of a principal, thank you very much),
gradually taking the lead in formalizing the binding agreement.

Meanwhile, Satoru and Suguru handled the smiling intimidation part, practically pressing a blade to the higher-ups' necks and saying:
"So? Gonna sign or not? Huh? Gonna sign?"

Given the chance to live, pretty much no one wanted to die early—especially not the higher-ups, who were used to a cushy life.
Naturally, they signed the agreement, though they were still busy scheming in their heads,
thinking of ways to exploit the clause that said "people from Jujutsu High and those affiliated with them are not allowed to attack."

When it came to the pig-raising part, one of the higher-ups grumbled after the agreement was finalized,
"Why are we the ones raising pigs? Shouldn't that kind of physical labor be someone else's job?"

Chihori kindly replied,
"We just wanted to give you guys something to do—somewhere to channel all that need for control."

Higher-ups: "."
—Who wants to have a sense of control over pigs?!

Satoru added dramatically from the side,
"These piglets were lovingly raised by us. They're the precious darlings of our Supreme Pig Cult Leader, Principal Yaga—too precious to drop, too precious to bite. You'd better take good care of them."

Yaga: You really don't need to include me in this. :D
When exactly did I become the Pig Cult Leader?!
Why does this cult even exist?!

That said, Yaga was honestly happy that the pig-raising job was being handed over to the higher-ups—
because it meant he no longer had to chase pigs around Jujutsu High.
God knows what kind of dreamlike (??) pig-catching skills he had developed over the past few weeks.

System (wiping tears): [Thank you for your hard work, Yaga-sensei—]

The higher-ups didn't care at all about Satoru's speech.
Even if they had signed the agreement, it never said how well they had to raise the pigs.
They figured they could always "handle things flexibly"—slaughter early, let them roam, whatever.

The Rotten Oranges smirked to themselves.
These students... still too young.

Chihori's green eyes swept over to them, and she blinked before adding,
"Oh, by the way—we'll be checking up on your pig-raising from time to time. Everything needs to meet the standards—"
