Chapter 7 Do you have a boyfriend?

The match between Gojo Satoru and Natsuyuu Ge ended in a draw with Gojo conceding defeat on the playground.

Moth Masakazu wearily pinched his brow: "What did the school's playground ever do to you? You just destroyed playground number two yesterday, and today you destroyed playground number one."

Xia Youjie covered the left side of his face, which was slightly red from the punch he received from Gojo Satoru: "Make Satoru pay for it."

Gojo Satoru, seemingly without any bottom line, wasn't seriously injured, but he was still somewhat disheveled: "Jay was also involved, so why should I be the only one to pay?"

Xia Youjie: "I have no money."

Gojo Satoru: "You're already a level one sorcerer, with so many mission rewards, how come you don't have any money!"

The two started arguing again, and Moth Masakado, not wanting to waste words, punched each of them.

The world is quiet.

Moth: "From now on, all your mission rewards will be deducted to cover the repair costs. You will receive your rewards once the costs are covered."

Yuya whispered to Shoko Ieiri, "Are the bounties for spellcasters' missions high?"

Ieiri Shoko: "Generally speaking, the minimum is several hundred thousand. However, Gojo and Natsuyu are both level one sorcerers, and the tasks they can complete are all high-level. The reward for a single task starts at at least one million."

Yuya said from the bottom of his heart, "That's great."

It was equivalent to several months' salary for him in □□.

"But isn't this illegal? Are underage sorcerers supposed to start completing missions?"

“Exactly, exactly! That incompetent rotten orange always likes to exploit us poor students. We work so hard too!” Gojo Satoru nodded vigorously, as if he had found a kindred spirit. “Yokumo, as a teacher, you don’t protect your poor students, but instead you help the evildoer!”

Night Moth felt like he was about to have a heart attack: "Don't use idioms if you don't know how to use them."

Xia Youjie is now on the same side as his best friend: "Teacher Night Moth, we're requesting a raise. If the pay isn't increased, we'll stop doing missions!"

He was clearly joking, but Yuya somehow sensed a hint of seriousness in his tone.

Xia Youjie's tone carried a barely perceptible hint of disgust.

Do you hate doing tasks?

Masamichi Yagami felt like he had aged ten years after taking that one lesson—in fact, he felt that way every day. After taking on the two students, Satoru Gojo and Natsuyuu, his mental age had reached several thousand years.

"You two have a task assigned to you this afternoon, so you don't need to attend your classes at the vocational college."

Out of sight, out of mind. Throw it away.

Xia Youjie and Wutiao Wu didn't ask what the mission was, they just said, "Let Yuya come with us."

?

Yuya pointed to himself: "Me?"

Gojo Satoru's reasoning was quite sound: "Instead of listening to you, Night Moth, spouting dry nonsense, why don't you let me and Jie take Yuya into actual combat? That way, we can better understand curse power and spells, right?"

"With Jay and me here, no matter what kind of cursed spirit it is, it's no match for us. Observing cursed spirits up close is the best way to teach them. Moth, you don't even understand this? You're really lame."

Moth said, "?"

Xia Youjie chimed in, "Wu, please understand. Teacher Ye'e has been busy with family matters lately, so it's normal for her to be a little slow to react."

Moth was thinking: "???"

He told himself that these were students, and as a teacher, he should have a tolerant heart towards them.

Upon closer examination, this makes sense.

In terms of pure combat strength, the two students of Gojo Natsuyu combined are stronger than him. Moreover, this mission is only to exorcise a level one cursed spirit, but Yuuya only had his first class today…

Yuya Kojima raised his hand: "If I participate and make a contribution, can I get a share of the bounty?"

"If I could go, I would like to."

Nocturne Masamichi finally agreed.

The number of sorcerers and spirits is disproportionate, and students with potential really need to catch up as quickly as possible.

Of course, most importantly, he believed in the partnership of Gojo Satoru and Natsuyuu.

Shoko Ieiri's reversal technique is of great significance to the world of jutsu. Since joining the high school, she has not been allowed to leave the house unless there are special circumstances.

She waved casually: "Bye-bye~ Bring me a pitcher of beer when you come back, I've finished mine in my dorm."

Yuya: "Shoko-kun, that's illegal too. You're not old enough to drink alcohol."

Ieiri Glass: "It doesn't matter. After all, I've been doing illegal work for a long time, and I don't drink much either."

“With none of the three of you here, and Ms. Moth not making me attend class, I’ll actually be more relaxed,” she smiled lazily. “Have a safe trip and come back soon.”

Yuya nodded earnestly: "We will."

No preparation is needed, and you don't even need to change your school uniform.

Since it was almost noon anyway, Yuya and the other two discussed it and decided to go out for lunch first before starting their mission.

As they descended the mountain, a black sedan was parked on the side of the road.

"Gojo-kun, Natsuyu-kun, and this must be the newcomer, Koshino-kun," the man wearing simple black-rimmed glasses introduced himself. "I am Takeya Takanao, the assistant supervisor for this mission. Please get on the bus, and I will explain the mission to you."

Gojo Satoru said coldly, "That kind of thing doesn't matter. It's not the agreed mission time yet. Can't you tell we need to go eat first?"

"The people from the Curse Supervision Association are as clueless as ever."

Yu also glanced sideways.

This was the first time he had ever seen Gojo Satoru like this.

Cold, unapproachable, and with an undeniable sense of oppression from someone in a high position.

This really gives off a vibe of the head of the Gojo family or the Six-Eyed God.

Takeya Takanao broke out in a cold sweat.

Putting aside Gojo Satoru's status as the head of the Gojo family, his status as a Level 1 sorcerer is also intimidating. More importantly, Gojo Satoru was the one who blew up the headquarters of the Spell Control Association with Natsuyu Suke.

What if you anger the other party and they blow him up too?

His body isn't any tougher than the Curse Control Association's barrier.

"It was my oversight. I'll take the three students to a nearby restaurant first."

Wu Tiao Wu reported an address.

**

"Then call me after you three finish eating, and I will come pick you up and explain the task to you then."

"I won't bother you any longer."

After leaving his phone number, Takeya Takanao drove away without hesitation, as if a dog was chasing him.

Yuya looked up at the restaurant in front of him; it was a steakhouse—the kind that looked like a meal there could cost a month's salary.

"Can the food and accommodation expenses incurred during the mission be reimbursed?" If not, it's better to find another place to eat.

Xia Youjie's gaze softened as he patted Youye's head: "It won't be reimbursed, but don't worry—Wu will pay for it."

Gojo Satoru didn't refute: "Go in, order whatever you want to eat."

Yuya gave Gojo Satoru a thumbs up: "You made such a bold statement, Satoru, you've become even cooler at this moment."

A waiter opened the restaurant door and greeted customers with, "Welcome!"

The three of them asked for a window seat.

Yuya: "I'd like a sirloin steak, well-done."

The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, we don't serve well-done. We usually serve rare or medium-well. We recommend you order medium-well; the meat will be tender and springy."

Yuya shook his head: "I don't want it. I want it well-done. Every restaurant I've been to before can make it well-done."

The waiter, without changing his expression, said, "I'm very sorry, sir..."

Xia Youjie closed the menu and handed it over: "I'd also like a sirloin steak—well-done."

He smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "I think meeting the needs of guests is something that any restaurant should do."

"How about we talk to the kitchen staff? Or are you going to stay here and 'persuade' the customers?"

A chill ran down the waiter's spine, and he dared not say anything more for a moment: "Okay, sir, I'll go and talk to the chef right away."

He walked away looking somewhat flustered, and almost bumped into another waiter.

Gojo Satoru: "Ketsu, you scared them away."

Xia Youjie poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them, then picked up his own cup, blew on it, and began to drink: "I am stating the facts."

Gojo Satoru: "The truth is, you scared people away, and I haven't even ordered yet."

Xia Youjie shrugged: "You can't blame me for this."

Monkeys are just too annoying.

Stupid monkeys that should disappear from this world.

"What would you like to eat? I'll go tell the front desk to add some dishes."

Gojo Satoru's expression changed in an instant: "Yuya is still the best to me! I want one of every dessert on their menu."

Yuya recalled the menu he had just seen: "If I remember correctly, there are more than twenty kinds. Do you want them all?"

Gojo Satoru looked pitiful: "I can eat as much as I want, Yuya. You don't know, keeping [No Limit] on all the time will burn my brain. At the same time, I have to keep [Reversal Technique] running 24 hours a day, which consumes my energy every moment."

"Sweets can give me a lot of energy."

Yuya stood up: "Then I'll talk to the receptionist."

After he finished ordering and returned, he asked about his earlier question: "This morning, Ms. Moth said that only Shoko knew the [Reverse Spell]?"

Gojo Satoru explained, "I'm different from Shoko. Shoko's Reversal Technique is an innate technique of hers; she doesn't need to learn it, she's born with it. She can heal herself and others. I learned it later in life, so I can only heal myself."

"Is it possible for me to learn it?" Yuya asked curiously.

If you can master it, you don't need to worry about getting injured.

For a moment, Gojo Satoru's aura darkened as if he were thinking of something, but he quickly smiled and said, "Sure, I'll teach Yuya."

Yuya looked around: "Is it here?"

Gojou nodded, his expression serious: "It's actually very simple. First, you need to learn to control your own incantation power."

Yuya indicated that he understood.

Gojo Satoru: "Then, just circulate your incantation power, 'whoosh,' 'clang,' 'crack,' and that's it."

Yuya tilted his head in confusion: "Satoru, were you speaking a foreign language just now?"

Xia Youjie couldn't help but chuckle: "Wu, I told you long ago, no one can understand your foreign language teaching methods."

Gojo Satoru leaned back in his armchair, relaxing: "I think I explained it very clearly, and Shoko understood."

That's because you share a foreign language system.

"Jay, you're just jealous of me. It's okay, I'm a genius, there's definitely a gap between us if you hate me."

"Go pay your bill."

Wujiao Wu was sent to pay the bill by Xia Youjie. Xia Youjie got up to go to the restroom, leaving only Youye sitting there.

Footsteps approached, and Yuya looked up to meet a pair of extremely shy eyes.

"Hello, do you have a girlfriend?"

The girl who spoke was speaking softly, clearly nervous. Yu also noticed two other girls not far away glancing in their direction; they must have been encouraged by their friends to muster the courage to come and ask.

Yuya pondered how to politely refuse without embarrassing the other person.

"I……"

"Yuya~" A humanoid cat pounced and entangled the person it had chosen, pulling the person into its arms. The person was so strong that it could not stand steadily and could only lean on the cat to avoid falling to the ground.

“Mr. Takeya is already waiting for us at the door. Shall we hurry over? It’s not polite to keep him waiting.”

Yuya pushed Gojo Satoru's face away: "Speak properly, why are you getting so close for no reason?"

His lips brushed against Yuya's face unintentionally. Gojo Satoru straightened up, as if he had only just noticed the girl who had come to ask him a question: "Oh, someone's looking for you. Is it a friend?"

Xia Youjie, who had returned at some point, stood beside Youye and said, "Do you need me to give you some space? Wu and I will wait for you outside."

Despite saying that, Xia Youjie didn't move an inch.

The girls who approached him felt immense pressure.

Like the fear of being chased by packs of stray dogs while walking on the roadside when I was a child.

The black-haired man at the head of the group had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of disdain as he looked at her, as if to say—

That annoying monkey, get lost.

Before Yuya could speak, the girl's face suddenly turned red: "Hugs, I'm so sorry, I was presumptuous, I'm sorry, I'll go now!"

Seeing the girl hurriedly dragging her friend out of the restaurant, You was also puzzled.

He's not that scary, is he?

--------------------

I know that rare and medium-well steaks have different textures, but I just want them well-done. I feel that only well-done steaks are safe to eat. The pinkish look of rare steaks is like meat that's not fully cooked when you eat hot pot; you really want to put it back in the pot to reheat it.

However, the staff will repeatedly say: "Honey, we don't recommend eating it like this."

Sad.
